Thanks for your answer, it works (I'll share my code soon).
Now I have another problem. This code
(split-window-right (round (* 0.5 (window-width window))))
will split the window into "unequal halves". I understand the reason,
but is there a simple way to override this behavior? IOW, how to define
`calculate-columns' so that (split-window-right (calculate-columns col))
makes it so that subsequent (window-width) returns exactly col?
