This is no option when quotation marks are used and other characters
which can’t be broken at the end of line. Another advantage of LuaTeX’s
vertical mode is that you can use \underbar and other commands which
aren’t possible with columnsets.

The output in my example would be nicer when the width (or height?)
of each character had been 1em (or more).
