In the table above, we set colsep = 0pt. I hope tblr can automatically complete the setting of colsep so that the table width is the specified width, such as \textwidth.

I try to set colsep = 7.5pt to meet the demand in this example. But this is inconvenient and not accurate. Whether there is a method to automatically complete this step. If you can provide an interface, such as width = \textwidth, colsep = autofill, it will be even better.

I know the existence of the X column format, but I don't want this. In many cases, the proportion between columns is not easy to see, so it is not very convenient to use the X column format. All I want is to set colsep automatically.
