I’m trying to implement a `show` function that displays a list of strings. Because the strings are short and there are many of them, it isn’t making very good use of the screen. So I’m thinking about a text formatting function that takes the list and convert it into a multi-column display by utilizing the screen width as much as possible.
I’m wondering if there’s a package like that already so I don’t reinvent the wheel?
So it would turn something like this:
```julia
1: string1
2: string2
3: string3
...
100: string100
```
into
```julia
1: string1 26: string26 51: string51 76: string76
2: string1 27: string26 52: string51 77: string76
3: string1 28: string26 53: string51 78: string76
...
25: string25 50: string26 75: string51 100: string76
```

There’s a package now 😉
