Render a list of records to a grid

> [{name: 'A', v: 1} {name: 'B', v: 2} {name: 'C', v: 3}] | grid name
A │ B │ C

Render a table with 'name' column in it to a grid

> [[name patch]; [0.1.0 false] [0.1.1 true] [0.2.0 false]] | grid name
0.1.0 │ 0.1.1 │ 0.2.0

Render a table with 'name' column in it to a grid with icons and colors

> ls | grid --icons --color name

Notes

The grid command creates a concise gridded layout for the input. It prints every item of the list in a grid layout. However, for table, you need to provide the name of the column you want to put in the grid.
