Default bindings are updated to use these features.

The \<\<TreeviewSelect\>\> virtual event triggers on any selection change including cellselection.

## Striped rows

A new option **-striped** *bool* is added. This makes every other item get marked

with the `alternate` state, and allows the theme to draw them in a
different color. Built in themes are updated to put something fitting
at that color.

## Column separators

The **-show** option is extended with the value `columnseparators` to
display a separator between columns.
Built in themes are updated to define the separators.

## Image anchor for tree

A new item option **-imageanchor** *anchor* is added.
This controls the placement of the image relative to the text in an
item's tree column. Default is "w".

## Item height

A new item option **-height** *height* is added.
This controls the height of the item, in multiples of **-rowheight**. Default is 1.












# Implementation

Started on branch [`pspjuth-treeview`](https://core.tcl-lang.org/tk/timeline?r=pspjuth-treeview)

## Striped rows

A new option **-striped** *bool* is added. This makes every other item to be

theme or tags.
Built in themes are updated to put something fitting at that color.

This controls the height of the item, in multiples of **-rowheight**. Default is 1.

# Rejected alternatives

## Striped rows

An earlier spec implemented **-striped** as an alternate state. This did not
work well, since options are resolved in a certain order. Style defaults,
tags, then Style maps. Since alternate was part of the style maps, it overrode
any background in tags. The striped background should have less priority than
tags, and be at the level of Style defaults.
Thus it was moved to a **-stripedbackground** option.
