Just to add: the "appealing" thing about Fl_Pack, IIRC, is how it works in
combo with a parented Fl_Scroll, making it different from any other
grouping widget (even Fl_Grid?) in that it resizes itself to "shrink-wrap"
around its children, so that a parent Fl_Scroll's scrollbars only appear if
the pack (and its children) extend outside the Fl_Scroll's xywh area after
the shrink-wrapping (resizing) process completes.
Does Fl_Grid solve this situation? If so that's interesting. I imagined
Fl_Pack was kinda unique in how its size is affected in an automated way by
its children.
