The gripe I have with \d is that the "footnotes" are very hard to  
scan through once you have more than a few things on a table. What  
I'd like to see is a version that provides the same information, but  
in a tabular output.

Thoughts? I don't have time to submit a patch for this, but I could  
probably get CashNetUSA to pay to have it done. :)
