TableView enhancements for JavaFX 2.2

[Tadashi Ohmura]

Thank you Mr. Jonathan Giles

What about these convenient methods for TableView ?

   public void aetStyleForRow( int rowIndex, String styleValue )
   public void aetStyleForColumn( int columnIndex, String styleValue )
   public void aetStyleForCell( int rowIndex,  int columnIndex, String 
styleValue )

Best Regards
