"significant" may be relative. The feature has been available on master
for months, and this went unnoticed.
Anyway, I changed the algorithm, so shrinking should now obey to
alignment. Thank you for the feedback.

This is not misleading. The "…" characters means the /column/ as a whole
is shrunk, not that an individual field is. Luckily, you can easily use,
for example, `C-TAB` for the rare case the situation requires
disambiguation.
