latex reader doesn't handle tables

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. pandoc -s --to=html tests/latex-reader.latex

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
...
Para [Str "Here",Apostrophe,Str "s",Space,Str "a",Space,Str "LaTeX",Space,Str 
"table:"]
, BlockQuote
  [ Para [Str "Animal",Space,Str "&",Space,Str "Number",Space,LineBreak,Space,Str "Dog",Space,Str "&",Space,Str "2",Space,LineBreak,Space,Str "Cat",Space,Str "&",Space,Str "1",Space,LineBreak] ]
...

Expected (obtained by converting to a markdown table and parsing...):
[ Para [Str "Here",Str "'",Str "s",Space,Str "a",Space,Str "LaTeX",Space,Str 
"table:"]
, Table [] [AlignDefault,AlignDefault] [0.0,0.0]
  [ [ Plain [Str "Animal"] ]
  , [ Plain [Str "Number"] ] ] [
  [ [ Plain [Str "Dog"] ]
  , [ Plain [Str "2"] ] ],
  [ [ Plain [Str "Cat"] ]
  , [ Plain [Str "1"] ] ] ] ]

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
commit ca5217881de1be672ac855a1979e9436aa6ced35 on ubuntu.

Please provide any additional information below.
Not sure whether this is a defect or a feature request. I'm marking it as a 
defect since tests/latex-reader.latex has a table, which is not parsed as a 
table, as demonstrated above. Either way, it would be great if pandoc could 
parse latex tables.

Oops, the step to reproduce should be "pandoc --to=native latex-reader.latex", 
of course. I changed the example to output native instead of html to remove any 
ambiguity about whether the problem was in the latex reader vs the html writer.

Yes, remember that the latex reader, as documented, supports only a subset of 
latex. Tables haven't been implemented yet, so I'll reclassify this as an 
enhancement request.

I've added support for simple tables.
