NiceFormatterTablize Method

Converts an enumerable set of objects (of the same type) into a mock table of rows and columns formatted using ASCII box characters. Each property in the incoming object type becomes a column of the mock table. The first row of the mock table is a header row containing the column property names.

foreach (var line in lines) Console.WriteLine(line);
