/** @brief This interface gives access to a two-dimensional table. 
       
 All accessible objects that represent cells or cell-clusters of a table have 
  to be at the same time children of the table.  This is necessary to be able 
  to convert row and column indices into child indices and vice versa with the 
  methods IAccessibleTable::childIndex, IAccessibleTable::rowIndex, and
  IAccessibleTable::columnIndex.
              
 The range of valid coordinates for this interface are implementation dependent.  
  However, that range includes at least the intervals from the from the first row 
  or column with the index 0 up to the last (but not including) used row or column 
  as returned by IAccessibleTable::nRows and IAccessibleTable::nColumns.
