I have made this patch because I have a lot of people using "cucumber-eclipse"(1) and every day, when they are fixing their tests, they starts to cry in my ear complaining why cucumber do not fill the cell for me. They think that fill with "I", in a big  table is very boring. I think formatter should do that. Not doing it here, where do you think could be? I believe that "writing usability" and robustness is cool and important, Dont you agree?. (1) https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-eclipse/wiki/Pretty-Formatting Thanks Again.
