For those who understand French, reread Jean de la Fontaine: "Le meunier,
son fils et l'âne"
This is the story of a miller, his son and a donkey. The donkey, lead by the
miller's son, wears a bag of flour, while the miller walks on the side. Each
time the group encounters a person, this person criticizes the way things
are arranged: the father should be on the donkey while the son wears the
bag, the son and the bag should be on the donkey, and so on. Trying to
please everybody appears impossible.

In our case, maybe all the bells and whistles should go in a function named
'tabdisp' (for tabular display), which should be reasonably customizable by
a few options ? Writing it as a .m file is not that complicated, but I
expect it to be much faster in c++.

Pascal
