Feature request: Allow banners in tables to span multiple lines in both directions

Sometimes, it is useful to specify a banner by the underlines:

name   rank   serial number
----   ----   -------------

 This is particularly true if the table contains data that might get confused with the table headings. And, if the table doesn't repeat the headings, this is possible today.

If, however, the table repeats the headings (e.g. every "page"), then using the underlines will throw the second set of heading words into the table.

You can specify that the table ends on a row before the footer, but that doesn't deal with the original problem--that the data might look like a header--and, if I recall correctly, iTest turns the table into multiple tables, one per header, which isn't really what we want.
