 For technical reasons we can't both avoid duplicating the common
parameters documentation (e.g. gap) and provide overload-specific
descriptions. So I did what I could and just tried to explain everything
more clearly in the common description, please see the updated version at
http://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/classwx_grid_sizer.html (once it updates
in a few hours...)

 Thanks for noticing this,
