I had a look at X.L.ThreeColumnsMiddle and X.L.Threecolumns and noticed that they are very similar, actually the first one is based on the second one. Therefore I tried to merge them together and here is the result. This somewhat breaks the configuration syntax, but that is unavoidable.
I've had a look at your your merging, and I think that I've managed to keep the same constructors as the previous versions. The type signatures do change for users of ThreeColumnsMid (or whatever it is called) however, that could be changed too, but I think that the benefits of potentially allowing the toggling between the two outweigh the small effort for people who include lengthy type signatures in their configs. Might it be worth exporting ThreeColumns through ThreeColumnsMid (with depreciated warnings enabled etc.)?
There was a difference in the way column sizes was specified, I adopted the one from the Middle-version since I can't understand why it was done as it was in the original code. I also extended the ability to specify the column size a bit by allowing negative fractions. Negative fractions will specify the size for the slave columns and the behaviour will be different when there are only two windows to manage.
That change sounds reasonable. Thanks, Adam
