I'm working through an idea that would effectively generate the hyphen row in a moderately robust fashion with help from hints like the number of header rows and their expected justification. It's very much a work in progress and I'd be happy to see anything you might have to show.

Some examples of the types of problem tables you have had to deal with would help define the problem space. Quite likely I won't cleanly deal with all variations, but if I can handle common cases it would be worth turning this into a module and publishing it.

Optimising for fewest key strokes only makes sense transmitting to Pluto or beyond
