I'd love to have vertical splits in mg as well, but the display logic
needs some heavy work to accomodate for it. Take a look at display.c,
it's written in a way to only handle horizontal splits. In fact,
among the various micro emacs descendants almost no implementation
support vertical splits :/

Not to say that's impossible for mg, just that it takes some non
trivial work.
