Normally, all items will be gone through once. The largest cell will set
column width for all columns. With this strategy, one long item will
stretch out all columns, wasting space in between them.
With COL_DENSE enabled, it shrinks all columns to minimum, then attempts
to push the last row's cells over to the next column with hope that
everything still fits even there's one row less. The process is repeated
until the new layout cannot fit in given width anymore, or there's only
one row left (perfect!).
Apparently, this mode consumes more cpu than the former, but makes
better use of terminal space. For layouting one or two screens, cpu
usage should not be a problem.
