I agree that it's a bad idea to say explicitly that it's "ReST mode"
output, because it's not. But it works just fine for that purpose on
almost every table I would generate on a typical day. My databases are
mainly filled with plain alphanumeric text and numbers. If I can dump 99%
of them into ReST using this new border but 1% require me to manually
tweak by escaping some characters, that's still very useful to me. I'd
hate to see a focus on the corner cases drive this feature away.
