Ouch, that's almost obnoxious. I just tried it, and sure enough, this
kind of thing works:
{|
|-
| fooooo
|}
This looks like an example where being too permissive is actually
harmful. There's no real benefit in being able to left-indent the
table and no one does it.
Another interesting aspect of table parsing that I've noticed is that
malformed tables often disappear, rather than being rendered
literally. I think we decided that a replacement parser doesn't have
to mimic the current one on malformed input but there are still issues
to consider...
