I've thought of some additions to the table syntax. This one has a  
caption and row headers on the left.

     [ Table 1: A simple table    ]

     |            | Beans | Peas  |
     |            | ----- | ----- |
     | Wholesale  | $1.00 | $1.25 |
     | Retail     | $2.00 | $3.00 |

And this one has two rows of header and some colspan in action.

     [ Table 2: Test of a complex table                    ]

     ||            || Imported      || Domestic           ||
     ||            || Beans | Peas  || Carrots | Tomatoes ||
     ||            || ----- | ----- || ------- | -------- ||
     || Wholesale  || $1.00 | $1.25 || $1.20   | $1.20    ||
     || Retail     || $2.00 | $3.00 || $1.80   | $1.80    ||

I'm just not sure about the caption syntax (which could also be put  
at the bottom) and how to best align text in cells that span on two  
columns.
