Should this instead be if (__n == 0)? Can width() ever return a negative number? cppreference says this about streamsize:

Except in the constructors of std::strstreambuf, negative values of std::streamsize are never used.

I couldn't find a matching statement in the standard, however there's this footnote in 30.5.2:

streamsize is used in most places where ISO C would use size_t. Most of the uses of streamsize could use size_t, except for the strstreambuf constructors, which require negative values. It should probably be the signed type corresponding to size_t (which is what Posix.2 calls ssize_t).

This does not clearly say that negative values are never used, but it does suggest it. Maybe it's safer to still use __n <= 0.

My interpretation of 27.5.3.2 is that you can retrieve the value you set through width(streamsize). And the wording here (unmodified) says "If width() is greater than zero, [...]," so the opposite should be width() <= 0.
