Set cell metadata in bulk

[JacobEvelyn]

Our server sends down an array of data and a corresponding array of cell metadata. Setting cell metadata for all cells is a cumbersome process right now. We have to:

1. Load all the data for the table (we do this via updateSettings, but the mechanism shouldn't matter). This triggers a table render.
2. Manually loop through all cells and use the setCellMeta method.
3. Manually trigger another table render (since for us, metadata influences how cells should be rendered with our custom renderer) with hot.render().

Ideally, we would be able to do this:

hot.updateSettings({
  data: data, // This is a 2D array.
  meta: metadata // This is a 2D array.
});

Does that sound possible? Is there another way to accomplish this?

Only thing I can think of is 'cell' both ways are good.
