A nice thing about the BLayoutBuilder classes (where this is used) is
that they are template classes and almost completely inlined in the

ABI.
I don’t completely understand that but I’ll trust you do :-)

However, AddGlue has the advantage that it is short and easy to type.
Maybe a simple AddSpace or AddPadding would do?

I think some other UI toolkits call this a "filler", when it consist
mostly of empty space. Go figure :)
OK, so far the candidates are:

AddSpace() -Already downvoted by Stephan
AddPadding()
AddFiller()
AddSpring()
AddSpacer()
AddRubber()
AddElastic()
AddEmptySpace()
AddWhiteSpace()
AddNegativeSpace()

Any other ideas?

Not sure I understand this addGlue properly, but from the descriptions maybe you can call it 'addMagnet'?
