This might merit further discussion.  (It pertains to Tile
as a whole, not just the ttk::treeview widget).


Although having merged Tile into the core has certainly
slowed down development (well, that plus work and real life),
it was never my intention to *stop* development on Tile.
There are still a lot of improvements to be made, including
new features and backward-incompatible changes.

TIP#248 only said, in essence, "Put Tile into the core",
but it was silent on the subject of future maintenance.
Was the intent to take a snapshot and then tether ttk::*
evolution to the core's release schedule, strict compatibility
policies and all, or will feature changes in core patchlevel
releases be allowed?

(My take: Tile development can be arranged to accomodate the
core's release schedule, but I don't think that shackling
it with the core's compatibility policy is in anyone's best
interest at this point.)
