== [css-multicol] Add switch to avoid generating empty column boxes? ==
In #1420, dbaron raises the possibility of not generating columns that end up not being filled:

> I also wonder whether column-fill: auto that doesn't fill all of the columns should cause some of the columns not to be generated, and leave only the filled columns (with their widths calculated as though they were all to be generated) to be justified. I have mixed feelings about this one, though.

In the default sizing behavior (enabled by `justify-content: normal/stretch;`), this will result in the remaining columns stretching to fill the area, requiring a re-layout (and possibly removing *more* columns as the new wider columns absorb more content).  But with any other `justify-content` value, the columns will stay the same size, just align differently.
