This is sometimes needed for cases where rows need to share
alignments in one orientation but may be separately grouped
in the opposing orientation.
For instance, #GtkIconView creates all icons (rows) to have
the same width and the cells theirin to have the same
horizontal alignments. However each row of icons may have
a separate collective height. #GtkIconView uses this to
request the heights of each row based on a context which
was already used to request all the row widths that are
to be displayed.
