      Sorry, I have another one of these 'feature-exists-p' questions.  The
      documentation for CLIM:FORMATTING-TABLE mentions a :MULTIPLE-COLUMNS
      option which causes each row to be broken into columns; but passing
      the keyword seems to have no effect.  An example is attached.  Again,
      am I misunderstanding something, or was this dropped from CLIM?

   What :MULTIPLE-COLUMNS does is to take a bunch of rows and arrange
   them into table having multiple columns.  What you have here is a
   table having only three rows, each of which has a lot of cells.
   :MULTIPLE-COLUMNS doesn't know how to do anything with this.

Ah yes, of course.  Each entire row is treated as an individual cell
of a column.  This makes perfect sense.  I was thinking that each row,
considered all by itself, is to be broken up into multiple (rows and)
columns.  The phrase in the documentation, that "the table rows are
broken up into multiple columns," was ambiguous.
