gottcode/focuswriter — Issue #41: Consider a table mode

This feature-request relates closely to #29, although its usefulness isn't limited to RST support only.

reStructuredText uses an [ascii representation](http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/quickref.html#tables) of grids for tables. This makes simple to keep the file readable if displayed as plain text but it makes editing tables extremely time-consuming.

To the best of my knowledge, emacs is the only editor presently [supporting](http://table.sourceforge.net/) editing tables this way [recently - perhaps - also vim started to support this].

Even if only for plain text, it would be cool if FW would support editing tables this way.
