Comment (by wpsuperflex):

 $content_width should really be "$possible_content_widths" that are made
 available to CSS. The idea of setting a content width (even if it's based
 on testing for things like presence of sidebars) is flawed because it
 assumes the web page can only have one possible width. Such ideas are very
 dated in the modern variable-screen world. Any reimplementation of
 $content_width should take responsive design into consideration.
