Subject: Way to replace normal tabular env with booktabs?

Greetings,
I was using wikibooks for some formatting assistance on tables the other
day and ran into mention of the booktabs package in the "Professional
tables" section. [1] [2]
I really, really liked it's formatting, especially since one of my column
headers was a fraction. The standard tabular package places the \hlines
extremely close to the top and bottom of my header row vs., as the booktabs
package says, having extremely nice looking spacing for the table. I ended
up doing the table manually inside #+begin_latex block.
Would there be any way to specify that booktabs should be used? The
formatting is literally identical except for 1) including the booktabs
package and 2) using \toprule, \midrule and \bottomrule instead of \hlines.
In fact, even with booktabs included, if you use \hlines instead of the
booktab specific lines, you'll get a "regular" tabular table.
Any thoughts on this?
Best regards,
John
