    Parameters
    ----------

    items
        list of strings to columize
    empty : (default None)
        default value to fill list if needed
    separator_size : int (default=2)
        How much caracters will be used as a separation between each columns.
    displaywidth : int (default=80)
        The width of the area onto wich the columns should enter

    Returns
    -------

    strings_matrix

        nested list of string, the outer most list contains as many list as
        rows, the innermost lists have each as many element as colums. If the
        total number of elements in `items` does not equal the product of

        columns_numbers
          number of columns
