What if that statement *doesn't* apply equally to any application?  It
may be that somebody wants to have file trees displayed with lines, but
protocol dissections displayed without them.

(Of course, one Windows app I know of, Microsoft Network Monitor, solves
this problem by, I suspect, using its own widget to display protocol
dissection, rather than using the standard widget.  Given that it does
things that I've seen no sign of the standard list-of-columns widget on
Windows supporting, I suspect it also has its own widget for that.)
