Feedback on new print method

[hadley]

I'll record my impression in this issue. No need to do anything for a while. Will need to be broken up into multiple issues across tibble and pillar.

• I don't like the underline in the heading

• The header and footer need to be style_subtle()

• Could we make the col_types italic? I like this style in slides, but it may be because I have a custom font. Or maybe they should be coloured to provide a stronger visual break?

• Why do T and F get different colours? It's a bit distracting

• Row numbers could be even subtler. Or possibly even a different colour. Need to be visually distinct from the data.

Year in this table provides an interesting counter point to highlighting the left most digits - when they're all constant, it's actually the rightmost that need highlighting:

Same for e.g. lat/lon values that are restricted to a small area, etc.. I wonder if it's safe to infer the (un)importance of a digit from the subset that pillar sees. Maybe use a third color?

[hadley]

Maybe we could apply some heuristic if the numbers are the same order of magnitude, and the digits on the left are constant, highlight on the right?
