Agreed.

With one line cellcontentview this is still trivial, but how should we
handle multi-line cellcontentviews? When do we strech both cell's width
and the height and when only height (with rectangular cell)? Should there
be an option to keep the current aspect ratio of a cell? Anyway, this
complicates the interface...

Currently I'm thinkin about 2D ball cell, where the text is inside the
cell (AFAIK this was not implemented in 0.6?). Even line divisioning with
static size don't feel very trivial for me, since every width of the lines
varies (some kind of array of linewidths should be delivered to
linebreaker?). And the stretching is, of course, more complicated. I quess
there is an easy way to calculate lines and their widths inside different
sizes of circles. Because, I'm quite slow in math, I would appreciate, if
someone would help with this :)
