But Tom, you are still treating this as a ReST option. Please, pretend
that I never mentioned ReST. Consider this simply as a proposal to
make a logical extension to the "border [0|1|2]" setting. If you were
going to extend border to 3, what would you do? Adding extra row
dividers and turning dashes into equal signs for the existing row
divider seems pretty logical on its own without referencing any
external formats.
