Exactly, TableForm is part of the output. We can of course remove the
whole output system, but again, I am +1 to have all this in sympy.

Currently, I didn't know any other way to implement TableForm than to
subclass it from Basic, so that it works with sympy's printing system.
Ronan, if you know a better way, let me know. We can improve it.

Exactly. Btw, tablib does *not* seem to support the kind of ascii
pretty printing that TableForm does. Or am I wrong Ronan?
