Do you think ColumnText should implement Element? Then you could add a form
of setSimpleColumn that only sets height and width and the add call in
PdfDocument could adjust for horizontal alignment and call the existing
setSimpleColumn using the currentHeight and indents (like it does in
addPTable).
