Table (2D array)

This is a class template for 2D arrays. There are actually two classes - TableAllocationBase handles most of the guts, but Table is the one to use.
It allows you to add/insert/remove columns and rows, and it automatically does all the horrible moving-memory-about business. You can also use functions like addRowWithValue(value), and setEntireColumn(value) to quickly populate it. Also, since it’s row major, you can use getRowData(rowIndex) to return a pointer to the contiguous data for that row (which should be valid as an array of getNumColumns() elements).

There are still plenty of things missing (it doesn’t have any additional constructors yet, for example), and it whilst it has been working fine for me, I haven’t tried to do anything too mental with it yet. In particular, I’ve yet to verify the thread safety of it in any way - it’s got all the locks and stuff though so who knows :wink: !
