I would really like something that accepted basically any function from filename (or IO) and returned a Table.  
E.g. I had something that was effectively 31GB of JSON records, 1 per line, broken up into about 64 files.  
And I have code that would load any of these using JSON.jl and would return a RowTable  
(and now JSONTables.jl is a thing)
