I've suggested the same thing myself one and a half years ago. The idea is nothing new.
Today, I actually went on a search for inform documentation (again) to see if I could knock it together - and I can report that Inform is a terribly primitive, stunted version of a programming language, replacing clear code commands with pseudo-english sentences. Which I guess allows people who vehemently resist learning normal coding to write 'stuff' with it, while at the same time throwing basic operations and functionality out the window that might be used to do anything a bit more complex.
To get a two-column inventory structure, we do need to pad or shorten item name and weight strings to a set length. Taking the vague documentation for Inform and shaking it in rage sadly has not yielded any easy way to do this...
