A Common Lisp library providing a data-table data-structure that has rows of data and column names and types
- reading/writing values by row/column or index
- combining data-tables as overlapping square regions
- pulling sub tables from a data table
- comparing data from two data-tables
- conversion from data-tables of strings into data-tables of lisp-values, automatically guessing types if necessary
- converting from / two other common-lisp data-structures (lists of alists/plists)
- easier interaction with databases by having a common data-structure that can be queried and inserted
- generating complex reports that contain multiple sections on a single spreadsheet of data
- make getting/setting values anywhere in the results easier
