Thanks very much for this.  We'll review the code tomorrow or on Monday 
but after a quick glance it looks sensible to me.

I can certainly see sense in accepting nulls and padding rows, so that 
one can pass a database result set straight into a table.  We also never 
worried about iterables in the past.  We're now in testing for Version 
2.0 (the trunk is, basically, it) which will carry a Python 2.4 baseline 
so in principle this makes a lot of sense.

Cheers,
