It would be cute, but you miss the most important part: should columns
mean
1. "wrap the text into columns the height of the current window,
and any more text goes into another pair [triplet, quad, etc]
of columns below, which are also the height of the current window,
and repeat until </columnar>"
or
2. ditto, but based on the height of the page set in the currently
active printer driver
or
3. "wrap the text into columns of arbitrary length, sufficient to
accommodate all the text evenly divided between the columns."
Until you define what you mean by "columns", no-one is going to want
to do a generic implementation.
