Feature request: ability to get the HTML content (not just text content) from table cells #2

One of my reasons for wanting to use this package is to parse a table like this one that has links in some of the cells. Using this package only returns the actual text in each cell, but it loses the information about the URL it links to.

I couldn't find a nice solution for this using pandoc, so I personally just implemented an ugly HTML table "parser", but it'd be nice if similar functionality would be added to this more generic package

This would require a change to html_table(), but shouldn't be hard. I'll ask if Hadley is interested in a PR.
