Comment 3 by jteh on 2014-08-05 01:09 Holding this back because reporting of row headers will be too verbose if they are always reported. They should only be reported if changed.

@nishimotz are you still working on this? Is there a coresponding pull request on Github? Or is the work on this Feature being continued only in this issue? In my opinion a pull request would be less confusing and better to distinguish the old patch from current commits. Thanks.

Hi,

We may need to morph this one due to issues found while incubating more than two years ago. Thanks.

@Adriani90 I didn't create a pull request so far.
