What is the purpose of down() in this case? Is it to get to the tbody?
To avoid fetching every row in the table, you could get away with
using a child selector to only fetch the row you are looking for.
tableElement.select('tr:nth-child(' + rowIndex + ')');
You'd have to check if there was a thead or tfoot though, since this
would be higher up in the DOM than the tbody.
Pretty handy little extension though :)
