Good idea!

The code has widths for each column already.

We need a syntax to give:

1. minimum column width
2. maximum column width (for example, for sequence data that can be very 
long)

Perhaps type:value%n.n=columnheading

More questions:

Do we need more column types?

Do we need a way to define the "standard" tags - to change them or to 
exclude them (excluding could be done with qualifiers, changing needs a 
tag syntax)
