Feature request: Less strict table parsing about mistletoe HOT 3 CLOSED

I didn't know this was possible! I don't think this is out of scope, and since CommonMark does not even support tables, we might as well do as we please, and make the syntax easier to write in 😃

I think if I were to do it, I should be able to get around to this in about a week, and I'll do another release to pypi after that. Would that be soon enough?

Feature added in 566b234. Currently the shorthand form for tables still require a delimiter row. For, example, this is not a valid table:

00 | 01
10 | 11

But this is a table:

00  | 01
--- | ---
10  | 11

The reason for this is that the | character is still commonly used inline, and allowing tables without delimiter rows might cause many normal lines to be accidentally parsed as tables. (GFM, I noticed, also needs the delimiter row.)

@huettenhain What do you think?

Fantastic! That was incredibly fast 😄
