Now that we have an abstraction for columns, it's relatively easy to selectively display only some of them, and Yoann has a use case for it.
Patch 1/3 fixes a rendering issue that shows up only when display of arbitrary columns is disabled. Patch 2/3 implements the relevant option, and patch 3/3 makes the output more readable when some columns are disabled.
