Actually I was thinking EXPAND_WIDGET would be (true, true) (the 
default) and EXPAND_PADDING would be (true, false). Right? Any ideas for 
better names? EXPAND_CHILD instead of EXPAND_WIDGET?

This seems to apply to Table::attach also. There, Gtk is already using 
its AttachOptions enum, so our new "AttachOptions" wouldn't be just a 
wrapper of that. Perhaps we should change the name for less confusion.
