I now have a branch where this works.  It needs a little refinement, cleanup, and testing.

I have a local branch that partly does this.  It is incomplete and does not work yet, though.  I'm not sure it even compiles.

Although we call it the "ascii" driver, the strings that it's being
presented with are UTF-8.

However, unfortunately its tabulation mechanism assumes that all characters are one byte wide.    This means that rows which contain
non-ascii strings end up with their column boundaries misaligned.

It should tabulate the data based on characters, not bytes.
