i notice when i edit a table using this tool that it adds lettered headers to tables without headers - then i have to manually delete them after. for example if you use this feature to edit a GitHub repository theme table on here (they never have headers) it adds A, B, and C headers. this is unnecessary and headers should be added by the user only if they are needed. one has to go manually remove the letters from the table code after editing.
