In theory, a number of other simplelist presentations
could benefit from this. For example, in the Data Types
Boolean Type section the true truth values are
presently listed vertically, like so:

true
yes
on
1

Instead they could still be listed 'type="vert"' (the default),
but with 'columns="4"', to produce something like:

true yes on 1

This stands out just as much, but takes less space
on the page.

Likewise, perhaps some tables are tables instead of
simplelists just because putting simplelists into
columns was so ugly.

I'll leave such modifications to others, at least for
now.
