I really don't like the current column-sizing behavior,
but am not entirely sure how to make it do the Right Thing.

I've been using a utility routine that takes a treeview widget,
a dictionary of weights, and an overall width, and configures
each display column to have width proportional to its weight.
This has worked OK for the use cases I've encountered, but
still doesn't feel quite right.

Another option is to use -minsize, -weight, and (possibly) -uniform
options as in [grid columnconfigure].

When I get a chance I'll check in some Tcl code implementing
different sizing behaviors for people to play with; once we
figure out what the right approach is we can bake it in.
