If you are building sites that work on mobile the default is correct. If
you are starting from scratch it's OK also but converting an existing site
can be a problem. I do have one non mobile site I'm converting so I looked
at my old 2.3 mixin and the at the example

http://getbootstrap.com/css/#forms-horizontal

I'm not really sure how to support this because each property can have
different col settings. My first thought is the mixin needs a map of
propertyName/columnWidth. It might be possible to do this with the message
catalogue also.
