The "why" is clear (to me), but not so much the "how".  `proced' and
`ibuffer' for example (currently not based on tabulated-list, but they
are also table view modes) allow to define and switch between certain
views, but don't offer commands to explicitly select and delete columns.

So the general idea (ability to leave columns out of the table) is
surely useful, but which interface should be provided to get this is
another question.

Michael.
