We're making it possible to use any model. With a multi-column table model it would resolve the amount of columns by default, but allows you to explicitly specify/override the desired amount of columns. With a single model column, it is left up to you to specify the amount of columns. This way, you can use either a two-dimensional QAbstractTableModel, a single-column QML ListModel using role names as columns, JS arrays, or even a plain number if you want to. :)

The API will be more in line with ListView and GridView. The old way of declaring columns with TableViewColumn objects does not scale well for more than a few columns.
