Proposal: Nicer way to enter tabular static data.

Perhaps this can be done with entry and display annotations for the editor/IDE.

For example:

let table:[[Int?]] /{ tabular, 10x10, centered, etc. } = ...

In an editor/IDE that understands these annoations, you would get a WYSIWYG table for entry and display of the tabular static data.

Could something like this just be implemented with a comment that
individual IDEs understand?

let table:[[Int?]] /* format:tablular,centered */ = ...

I don't know how valuable it would be to bake in specific syntax that is
only meant for an editor to consume.
