Auto width on VA Inquery results in grids

Not all data types are of equal length!

In every single Inquiry-powered grid (tab in a form), the columns all share the same visual width!

Some contain just one character (Perhaps a Y/N field) and some contain many characters (like a Notes field), yet all take up the same horizontal space, wasting a lot of screen space for some columns and chopping off useful datas in other columns.

I'd love to see all the columns auto-size themselves in the same way the F4 lookups auto-size themselves.

If auto-size is not an option, how about a sane default based on the datatype, and if no datatype is supplied, then the ~20 char width?

Please, with a cherry on top?

    it would also be nice to have the datatype like bDollar pass through so numbers have commas in them.
