It seems that I only set column widths during -awakeFromNib.  Definitely not 
upon expanding an item.

Those two paragraphs don’t make much sense to me, Ken.  For starters, when does 
NSOutlineView “iterate every row”?  I mean, this is a delegate method.  There 
is no default implementation.

Further up, it says that this method is "Invoked to allow the delegate to 
provide custom sizing behavior when a column’s resize divider is double 
clicked.”  I was never even aware of this “feature" :))  and had not 
implemented this method.  Just to test, I implemented it to return CGFloat 
value 50.0.  And, by golly, now when I double-click a column divider, in the 
table header, the preceding column resizes to 50 points.

I’m still thinking, but I can’t reckon any connection between this and 
-outlineView:child:ofItem: being sent proactively instead of lazily.  
Implementing it did not stop the “let’s get every row” craziness with 
-outlineView:child:ofItem:.
