Hello,

I find it confusing -- you may actually miss the information that the
current column is shrunk -- and not terribly useful. In particular, you
can tweak the column width, and, more importantly, expand, and shrink
again, the column quickly.

I'm not even convinced there's a real use-case for this behaviour that
cannot be solved otherwise. Therefore, I don't think such a variable is
needed. However, I suggest to try the new behaviour first.

Regards,
