Usage

  ["My Cool Column", "Some data"],
  ["More data", "Info"]
]

puts at.render

My Cool Column Some data
     More data Info

Custom Separators

  ["My Cool Column", "Some data"],
  ["More data", "Info"]
]

puts at.render

Column Lines

Pass a symbol instead of a string, and the output will be repeated for the length of the line

at = AlignedTable.new
at.title = "My Title"

at.rows = [
  ["My Cool Column", "Some data"],
  ["More data", "Info"],
  [nil, :-],
  [nil, "Total: 15 bananas"]
]

puts at.render

gives you

=========== My Title ===========
My Cool Column Some data
     More data Info
               -----------------
               Total: 15 bananas
