I don't like too much "container", it's not very explicit its use is
"layouting". Do you see there are other uses? Why not "{{layout
style='columns'}}" ?
Also, if you abandon the column macro, you abandon the possibility to its
potential parameters. Still one could use group parameters as a replacement,
but you cannot achieve exactly the same (from the WYSIWYG interaction
perspective for example).
