Row separator like column separator

The column separator is an amazing feature!

Taking a logical step forward, how about horizontal row separators too? To help avoid consecutive table entries mixing in with each other.

With both column and row separators at hand, this will help the user parse their table perfectly.

Ref: A similar request I'd posted on Tabula that had garnered a lot of attention: https://github.com/tabulapdf/tabula/issues/409

Also, I understand Excalibur is a frontend to Camelot. So the column separator feature might be there in Camelot and you've brought it to user interface here. Perhaps there's no row separator feature in Camelot itself yet? Can someone clarify? Then I'll go post this request there.

I am also interested in this feature! Has anyone of the developers had time to develop this?

@answerquest This will be a good enhancement, just need to find some time to implement it in camelot.

I am also super interested in that feature. Do you know if there is any framework which allows to extract tabular data from images like png or jpg? As I know tabula and excalibur allow only to extract from pdfs right?
