Read/write variable-length table columns #36

Closed kbarbary closed 9 years ago

kbarbary commented 9 years ago

On reading, variable-length columns are automatically read into Vector{Vector{T}} or Vector{ASCIIString} (for string columns).

On writing a new table, the varcols keyword can be used to specify which columns should be written as variable length. This is necessary because Vector{ASCIIString} can go either way. Other types must be vectors of vectors in order to be written as variable-length.
