Hmm ... what is determining the width of the left-hand column?
It doesn't seem to have any content, since the function entries
are being spanned across the whole table.
I think the main practical problem though is that it wouldn't
work nicely for operators, since the key "name" you'd be looking
for would not be at the left of the signature line. I suppose we
don't necessarily have to have the same layout for operators as
for functions, but it feels like it'd be jarringly inconsistent.
