I am not personally interested in adding such support all that much
myself, but one piece of advice I can offer those who are interested
is not to be too deeply attached to the word "table".

So be very careful when choosing what to call this new thing, and
avoid naming it after the implementation details (e.g., in what
particular shape the data gets presented) that may turn out not to
be the most important part of the concept.

Totally agreed, "table" simply sneaked in and remained here as the term. Perhaps "<command>.verbose = extra" or something similar would be a good choice.

 * FWIW, "git status -s" is a tabular presentation.  Maybe we can
   add a more verbose form of "-s" and be done with it for the
   command?

That's also an option.
