Hi Christophe,

Could you provide us with a minimal example of how this new functionality
can be used?

I am trying to test it and see if there are any conflicts with my patch of
late to supports the booktabs package @
http://patchwork.newartisans.com/patch/1016/  (aside from one of the two
patches not applying without some minor human intervention around line
1998).

Besides that, it would in general be good to have an example for
documentation purposes.
