No, it's rather _column_ that is a frame.
So a page with only one column has only one frame, but a page with
two columns has TWO frames.

You can simply create two frames side by side and connect them.
That will give _exactly_ what you want. It's just a bit more work than
in the page case where there's an option for the number of columns.

But not the same way at all, IIRC. It handles columns without creating a frame
per column.

I don't see why.

This is not a bug anyway, but a feature request for something like
"create N connected columns in this rectangle".
Please use the "wishlist" severity for feature requests.
