You don't see them. Yet specific use cases were
presented:
1. >> a frame or window whose width is made to fit

and

2.
I gave an example, and a recipe for it, using
buffer-menu. If you want to show the file-name
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
column with only a limited width, then that
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
should be possible. Especially now that we've
added the ability to interactively widen and
narrow column incrementally.
In the buffer list, if you have 10 buffers, and
only two of them are file buffers, and you don't
care to see the entire file names but instead
want to limit the width of that last column, you
should be able to do so. Instead, it takes up
most of the table, even when you don't need to
see all of it. You should be able to expand and
contract its width, just as you can for other
columns.
