That’s really a useful package, thanks for writing it!

Regarding the rendering, the Julian approach is to implement various `show` methods for your `RegressionTable` type, one for each backend (plain text, LaTeX, Markdown, HTML, CSV…). That way you don’t need to define your own `render` method, nor require the user to explicitly pass the expected type of output via an argument (except of course when s/he wants to): it’s automatically chosen depending on the current interface, so it will look good in the REPL, IJulia, Atom, etc. For example, `asciiOutput` would be replaced with `MIME"text/plain"` and so on. Julia is much more powerful than R in that regard. See [the manual](https://docs.julialang.org/en/latest/manual/types/#Custom-pretty-printing-1) for details.
