Table.take should accept a variable number of arguments

[rameshvs]

Stacking parentheses and brackets is confusing for beginners (e.g., make_array(1, 2, 3) is easier to understand thannp.array([1, 2, 3])). Taking multiple rows with Table.take should also accept this syntax, so that all of the following work and produce the same results:

t.take(np.arange(3))
t.take[:3]
t.take([0, 1, 2, 3])
t.take(0, 1, 2, 3)

Great. I'm skeptical of `t.take[:3]`, but I agree that the rest should work.

Agreed that t.take[:3] is a bit weird, but it already works, and is in the docstring for _RowTaker.__getitem__ (and has been for a while).
