[Haskell-cafe] Library pretty print values in Tabular format

[Heinrich Apfelmus]

I like it!

One feature I would like to see: Have you considered aligning decimal 
points? I.e. an output along the lines of

ticker     price          marketCap
  "YHOO"      42.2910101     0.40   e11
  "GOOG"     774.210101      5.3209 e11
  "AMZN"     799.161717      3.7886 e11

or something like that. In this format, it is easier to survey the order 
of magnitude of a quantity. Then again, exponents `e10` may be trickier 
to handle.


Best regards,
Heinrich Apfelmus
