    initial v1  
    1 I think the answer is yes with a lot of caveats.  I would want the behavior to be configurable and off by default, since most tables are composed of values that _don't_ get elided and having a tooltip pop up showing you a value that you can already fully see will just be a nuisance and annoyance.  It would be nice if you could only show the tooltip over elided text, then you could have it "always on", but AFAICT there is no simple way to do this.  You would also want to suppress the tooltip over boolean checkbox and color column cells.  So the only question is whether the tooltip control is on a per-column (so in add_column() call) or whole table (so in ItemTable constructor) basis.  Since you are the "end user" here, I'm happy with any call you make on that.
