I don't know if a different library is necessary for columnar display.
I believe tabulated-list-mode has the necessary foundations for such a
purpose.  I imagine with additions to the tabulated-list-format's
accepted props such as :content-type, desired features can be
implemented without the need to rewrite all the code.


PS: I have recently attempted to mail emacs-devel@gnu.org (to
help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org as well) regarding the wanted behavior of images
as I believe that is where this conversation belongs to however my mails
seem to not be getting through.  I am unsure why this the case as my
mails are seen as sent on my end.
