It's mostly a quality of life improvement.  Horizontal scrolling is a
mess (or at least I can't manage it), and you don't always need to see
all of the columns, so adding a way for the user to control it seemed
reasonable.  Also, when you add a filtering mechanism to your
`tabulated-list-entries' function, some columns can end up redundant,
this would make it convenient to manage situations like that.  (I would
know; that's why I wrote it)
