thanks :) i added just a line on scalability, but i think it's fine.

There is PageRow (used in the addons store), but is just about arranging stuff 
in columns, those menus would still have to be created by hand (by listviews 
in scrollviews usually) I don't think is much feasible making something that 
takes even less code to do while retaining usefulness

i added an example on how it can be achieved, probably is not super clear, so 
feedback on it welcome
