New description:

 Implement a wrapper for tables/matrices which are indexed by arbitrary
 sage objects. For example, this would allow for things like
 {{{
 EXAMPLES::

     sage: ct=CharacterTable( SymmetricGroup(5) ).display()
     Character table of Symmetric group of order 5! as a permutation group
     -------------------------
        | 1a 2a 2b 3a 6a 4a 5a
     ---|---------------------
     X0 |  1 -1  1  1 -1 -1  1
     X1 |  4 -2  0  1  1  0 -1
     X2 |  5 -1  1 -1 -1  1  0
     X3 |  6  0 -2  0  0  0  1
     X4 |  5  1  1 -1  1 -1  0
     X5 |  4  2  0  1 -1  0 -1
     X6 |  1  1  1  1  1  1  1
     sage: ct['X3']
     [6, 0, -2, 0, 0, 0, 1]
     sage: ct[3]
     [6, 0, -2, 0, 0, 0, 1]
     sage: ct[:,'3a']
     [1, 1, -1, 0, -1, 1, 1]

 }}}
 **Preliminary** patch to be added shortly. See also #13131.
