回复： Columnize in module "cmd"

[Tom Zhou]

Thanks for your reply! But i think using "for at for@for" to find out the appropriate column size is also another waste,
on the other hand, the length of the list's single string is similar with each other usually, so the maximum maybe is the mode of the list.

The columns can have different widths.  Finding the single longest
string in the list and using its length for all columns would
potentially waste a lot of space.
