Thanks for the feedback.

@Heinrich Yes, that would be nice. I was hoping in the future, I could allow for the user to set some kind of precision value. That would make sure we have a fixed number of digits after the decimal. May be for now, I could "fix" that value and make it align.

@Tony Yes, I do have a piece of code commented out where I attempted to make it generic but did not pursue that option. Your suggestion is very valid and I am hoping to get there.

Would it be possible to go polymorphic on the container shape? Eg Rather than having toBoxVector etc, create a Traversable a => Boxable a class with a toBox method etc.

If you go aligning decimals, the Formatting library would come in handy.

I like it!

One feature I would like to see: Have you considered aligning decimal
points? I.e. an output along the lines of

ticker     price          marketCap
  "YHOO"      42.2910101     0.40   e11
  "GOOG"     774.210101      5.3209 e11
  "AMZN"     799.161717      3.7886 e11

or something like that. In this format, it is easier to survey the order
of magnitude of a quantity. Then again, exponents `e10` may be trickier
to handle.


Best regards,
Heinrich Apfelmus
