Protect line ends in LaTeX tables

[rbeezer]

If a line of a table ends with \\ (which is not always, think \hline) and content of next line is a bare [ then LaTeX wants to combine the two into a vertical spacing deal.

Solution: end, the very end, with a %.

% is not good enough

Maybe \relax

Now using \tabularnewline rather than \\ and need to just add a [0pt] as protection. See Google Group thread for the full discussion of the difficulties.
