Thank you for changing.  And if someone wants `maximum width' I hope that it 
will be implemented with the syntax <..N> as a _variant_ _additional_ to the 
existing <N>.

Comparison of four variants (the last two rather useless apart from showing 
the completeness of the syntax):
<30>     : `fixed width'   (the only variant implemented now)
<..40>   : `maximum width' (as wide as necessary but max. 40)
<20..>   : `minimum width' (as wide as necessary but min. 20)
<20..40> : `width range'   (min. 20, then up to 40, narrow only if > 40)
