       This class is used to keep track of information related to a table and to create the information passed
       back to the user callbacks.  It is in charge of marshalling the massaged header and row data to the user
       callbacks.

       An instance is created when the controlling TableParser class finds a "<table" tag.  The object is given
       an id based upon which table it is to work on.  Its methods are invoked from the TableParser callbacks
       when they run across an appropriate tag ("tr", "th", "td").  The object is destroyed when the matching
       "/table" tag is found.

       Since tables may be nested, multiple HTML::TableParser::Table objects may exist simultaneously.
       HTML::TableParser uses two pieces of information held by this class -- ids and process.  The first is an
       array of table ids, one element per level of table nesting.  The second is a flag indicating whether this
       table is being processed (i.e. it matches a requested table) or being ignored.  Since HTML::TableParser
       uses the ids information from an existing table to initialize a new table, it first creates an empty
       sentinel (place holder) table (by calling the HTML::TableParser::Table constructor with no arguments).

       The class handles missing "/tr", "/td", and "/th" tags.  As such (especially when handling multi-row
       headers) user callbacks may be slightly delayed (and data cached).  It also handles rows with overlapping
       columns
