Consider the following (from fceux(6)):

.TS
center box;
cb | cb, c | ci.
NES Gamepad Keyboard
=
Up Keypad Up
.TE

nroff(1) displays it as:

┌────────────┬──────────────┐
│NES Gamepad │ Keyboard │
├────────────┼──────────────┤
│ Up │ Keypad Up │
└────────────┴──────────────┘

Or in -Tascii:

+------------+--------------+
|NES Gamepad | Keyboard |
+------------+--------------+
| Up | Keypad Up |
+------------+--------------+

It would make more sense to render the middle horizontal line with a double border ('=' in ASCII, '═' in Unicode). Both groff and mandoc render this with a double border in the middle.
