Subject: [PATCH] Describe use case for table differently
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

I worry “looks like a table” may be too broad. My layout also looks like a table, but using `table` would not be right.

So my proposal would be to add something that's more about displaying data. What about: ‘display data in columns and rows’?
