I have .. and it's very easy to implement ... just add a second paned widget
into the 2nd pane (or the first one?, I forgot which one yields correct
behaviour .. I know one way it acts weird) ... and you have 3 panes

this is ok for a few panes .. and I don't think anyone will ever use more
then a few
