Table data entry

[Kevin Rushforth]

The JBS bug is: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8089514

The current status is still as Jonathan described it. This would be a 
very good enhancement to have, but it will require a fair bit of work to 
drive consensus on the best way to define and implement this, and then 
to finish it.
