Add support for ReStructuredText tables #58

Open KM4YRI opened 6 years ago

KM4YRI commented 6 years ago

While there are other python table libraries that can generate ReStructuredText tables out there, it would be nice if terminaltables did it, and it's extensible enough to do so. There may even be a way to get the default implementation to do it? But being that RST is pretty strict about what is and isn't a valid table, it would be good to define these rules in a high-level manner.

The specification for the table output is here: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#tables

This is probably something that I could write at home and send a pull request for, but figured I'd ask before starting the work. Any feedback would be appreciated.
