I have had a number of people rant to me about Sage not having a command
like Mma Table (I guess - I've never used it).
Okay, fair enough to say that list comprehensions do this. But we have
gotten many people over the years saying that when they finally found
html.table, this is just what they are looking for.
Question/Poll: should html.table be imported globally, so that the tab-
completion above has an additional entry? It seems like this would help a
lot of people find a fairly obscure function.
See [https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/sage-
devel/5Ex0erSNyKg this sage-devel thread] for more suggestions, including
that we should have a `Table` class that `table` calls, which uses
something like `html.table` in the notebook, but also has a `_latex_`
method, makes ascii art in the command line, etc.
