Display current column in statusline

Hi,

how can I display the current column in the status line?

Having read :h statusline I found %c which looks promising, but it
counts bytes and not characters. I'd like to have the column
separated by characters, not bytes. %v works, but only if no tabs
are being used. Here an example:

123 56789
"äå µåäö"

I'd like to display the number indicated in the first column. The
following works for the first to third column until the tabs come
into play.

:set statusline=%v

The following works only for the first line, but not the second one.

:set statusline=%c
