TableView filtering and sorting (was Re: FilteredList/SortedList)

Maybe that is still a way to go, such that although you can specify any ObservableList you want, we default to a TableViewModel (instance of ObservableList) and have a TableViewModel class in the control package. It would be fairly natural and discoverable in that case.

instanceof was the thought to avoid deprecation.
