An ascii table formatter.

Manages a table of string content, including word-wrapping within cells. Contents are output to an ostream line by line with a table structure.

Todo:

have ability to add whole row, with a variadic template to handle different types

allow non-wrapping (i.e. unlimited width) columns

headers and footers

add centering (h and v) and right and bottom justification

have a latex() setup function

add sort capability, with vector of column choices to sort first by column N, then M, etc.
