Is it possible to stretch the widths of each column in natural TABLEs,

columns two and three in a 1:2 ratio.
If you know the width of the first column and total width, then you can use
arithmetic, as in the example below. But perhaps this already occurred to you,
and you were wondering if the widths and stretching can be handled
automatically -- the short answer is I don't know.
\starttext
\setupTABLE[c][1][width={2cm}]
\setupTABLE[c][2][width={\dimexpr(\textwidth-2cm)/3\relax}]
\setupTABLE[c][3][width={\dimexpr(\textwidth-2cm)* 2 / 3\relax}]
\startTABLE
\NC One \NC Two \NC Three \NC\NR
\NC A \NC B \NC C \NC\NR
\stopTABLE
\stoptext
Apart from being hard to maintain, this works well if I know the width of
a cell in advance. But most of the time I want something the width of the
fixed column to be determined using width=fit option, so I cannot
precompute the width of other columns.
