sugesstion: ModelTable alike ModelForm about django-tables2

[bradleyayers]

I can see value in adding this. It's in the original django-tables and most (all?) of the other forks. I took it out because I wanted to simplify the API -- have a single table class to subclass, and specify the columns you want. I also imagine that the majority of the time you would not want a plain Column, you'd often want a LinkColumn. In a simple implementation, this would mean that the programmer would still have to redefine the columns that should be more than just a Column.

Another question I'm thinking about is how to handle the order that columns are rendered. If I wanted to add two columns, one to each side of the table, what would be the API? I've considered perhaps another class Meta option, e.g. column_order (that would allow columns to be ordered much like fieldsets does for a ModelAdmin), but I think it might be confusing what the difference is between column_order and ordering.

More thinking is required on this before I try to implement something. Let me know if you have any good ideas to these problems.

This is what I do, to automatically generate basic table for a model. Maybe, someone could find it useful.
