Command line switch --autowidth

[pjvandehaar]

Normally, when I tabview a file,

1. I hit c for max column widths.
2. If those exceed the screen width, I hit c again for mode column widths.
3. Until the screen width is fully used, I hit . on columns where mode-width doesn't equal max-width (that is, where there's more to show).
4. Until the screen width is fully used (but at most 5 times), I hit + to increase gutter width.

(okay, so I'm too lazy to actually do all of that, but that's what I would like to do.)

I want a commandline switch to automate that, and then I'll just do alias tabview="tabview --autowidth" in my .bashrc.

(Actually, why do you use mode instead of median? Median seems better to me. If tabview used median, then instead of .ing columns in round-robin order, it could just iteratively increase from 50%ile width (ie, median) to 100%ile width (ie, max), stopping when the screen width is fully used.)

Sorry for delay. After closing #142, I came back and looked at this request. That might fulfill @cirosantilli's request as well.

The rationale for using mode was explained in #5.

I'll poke at it given some time....
