I wanted to make a 2:1 layout where the height of the container is defined by an item:

Originally I tried `flex` and `grid` to create such a layout.

With `flex` & `flex-direction:column` to achieve such a layout, the height must be defined, which I can't know or set.
With `grid` it is unfortunately not possible to have independent row heights. (I thought I could just define template areas and allow to ignore the row heights and just fit the content.

So I came across `columns`. I thought that it is either possible to define the width of each column, or that the `column-span` also accepts the number of column spans.
