        Column.py
        ===============
        
        This is a modern re-implementation of the venerable old ``column`` application
        available on most Unix / Linux systems today.
        
        Why re-implement this ancient tool?
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        
        BSD ``column`` has been, for many, the tool that *almost* works for every
        situation where we want to pretty-print a delimited table in textual form.
        Unfortunately, it lacks two highly desirable features.
        
        1. It has no option to right-justify columns instead of left-justifying them.
        2. It has no option to specify the output delimiter, and has two spaces
           hardcoded.
        
        Why not just modify the original code?
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        The original code is over 20 years old, is written in a cryptic C style which
        does not lend itself to easy modification, and uses the  compiler-dependent
        ``wchar_t`` type is not actually wide enough for Unicode.
        
        Example Usage & Output
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        Consider the following  input file, named ``Sample.txt``::
        
            Benchmark,Count,Avg,StdDev,Median,Min,Max
            Core 1 to Core 2,3000000,125,431.937128,122,87,294738
            Core 1 to Core 3,3000000,128,58.326363,123,87,54313
            Core 2 to Core 1,3000000,129,323.379763,123,87,291708
            Core 2 to Core 3,3000000,128,45.726372,123,74,37875
            Core 3 to Core 1,3000000,128,42.615930,123,87,44093
            Core 3 to Core 2,3000000,128,172.090219,122,78,266052
        
        Under traditional `column`, the output looks like this::
        
            $ column -t -s, Sample.txt 
            Benchmark         Count    Avg  StdDev      Median  Min  Max
            Core 1 to Core 2  3000000  125  431.937128  122     87   294738
            Core 1 to Core 3  3000000  128  58.326363   123     87   54313
            Core 2 to Core 1  3000000  129  323.379763  123     87   291708
            Core 2 to Core 3  3000000  128  45.726372   123     74   37875
            Core 3 to Core 1  3000000  128  42.615930   123     87   44093
            Core 3 to Core 2  3000000  128  172.090219  122     78   266052
        
        
        With `column.py`, the output looks like this with default options::
        
            $ column.py -s, Sample.txt 
            Benchmark           Count  Avg      StdDev  Median  Min     Max
            Core 1 to Core 2  3000000  125  431.937128     122   87  294738
            Core 1 to Core 3  3000000  128   58.326363     123   87   54313
            Core 2 to Core 1  3000000  129  323.379763     123   87  291708
            Core 2 to Core 3  3000000  128   45.726372     123   74   37875
            Core 3 to Core 1  3000000  128   42.615930     123   87   44093
            Core 3 to Core 2  3000000  128  172.090219     122   78  266052
