I've been using ~.": a lot lately, when working with csv data (with a
header row).

Here's what that looks like:

   ~.": (;:'a b c d'),]&.>p:p:p:i.4 4
┌────┬────┬────┬────┐
│a   │b   │c   │d   │
├────┼────┼────┼────┤
│13  │19  │43  │71  │
│163 │193 │293 │359 │
│463 │619 │743 │971 │
│1091│1181│1423│1601│
└────┴────┴────┴────┘

of course, that will be mangled if you're using a proportionally
spaced font or have other font issues. But in a good fixed width font,
you get a more compact display than boxed.

This wouldn't work right if rows of data were duplicated, but that
would be garbage data in the contexts I've been working with. So for
me that's a non-issue.

Anyways, this might work for someone else, also...

FYI,
