The problem I ran into was as follows:

SGrid.ColCount := 2;
SGrid.Columns[1].Alignment := taCenter; // Oops!

It is counter intuitive to me that the above code needs additional
call to SGrid.Columns.Add

So, IMO the correct solution would be to _remove_ SGrid.Columns.Add totally
and add/remove columns as needed when ColCount changes,
thus leaving a single well-defined interface without the possibility
of confusion.

However, this is not backwards-compatible... so, as a compromise,
perhaps Columns.Add should increase ColCount to keep both in sync?
