        -  accepts a URL
        -  Identifies all the tables
        -  Merges tables that share same structure (e.g. same column headers get
           merged)
        -  Figures out which table is the biggest
        -  extracts text
        -  extracts links
        
        TODO
        ^^^^
        
        -  add the ability to specify which table on the page you would like to
           download (not just the biggest one)
        -  [STRIKEOUT:add support for columns that do not use proper ``<th>``
           tags for headers (i.e. imperfect html tables)]
        -  detect the data types found within each column
        -  add support for tables with hierarchical indices on the rows and/or
           columns
