Width of the visual selection

Hi!

Is there a way one can get visual selection width without corrupting
registers?

Say I have 'dummy text' visually selected.

Using registers I can find the length by using:

y
echo len(getreg('"'))

I thought strpart with col('`<') and col('`>') would work but it
doesn't as col('`<') returns 0.
