Currently, Table can't save FITS ASCII tables, if the user asks for saving the FITS output as ASCII tables, they will be told that this feature is not yet implemented. I francly didn't have the need to work with ASCII FITS tables while I was making Table, so since my time is very limited, I left it for later.

Corresponding source code
Thanks to the new root data structure (task #14245) this is now done and pushed to my work on this data structure, FITS ascii tables (like FITS binary tables) can now easily be read and written with various input column types (integers, floating points, and strings).
With that commit, some tests have also been added to read a plain text table file (with all types, blank values, and blank lines, and etc) as both a binary and ascii FITS file and then write them back into a plain text table. Just a note for FITS ASCII: it doesn't conserve the types of the input integers (they will all be read as long).
At least on my system they all work. If you get the chance to try it out, please give it a try with `make check' (note that you have to configure like below, for an explanation, please see the comments in task #14245)
