I think the "use more verbose report format to help relatively

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.
Just a brief update... Some of the associated patches are already ready
to go, and some more are still pending to be implemented. It took me a
while, which I apologize for, and now I've also unfortunately contracted
some really bad flu. I'll be back to the patches as soon as the flu
decides to go away.

* 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.
