That is a real pity! So in master we have the feature of narrowing one
column to a width we want. That is useful in scenario 1.

Now in the branch there is another *very nice* feature, which allows you
to hide many columns on the fly. That is useful in scenario 2.

So you are saying we cannot have both.

I still have your patch and use it often, I really don't want to miss
it, since it enhance the features of the table very much. It is a pity
that you won't conserve that. I hope that patch can survive in the
future.

But couldn't the feature of shrink one particular wide column to a
certain width  be implemented using your new implementation?

Thank you very much for you work and I still hope this can somehow be
saved and merged into master.
