Library of Babel function

[tsd@tsdye.com (Thomas S. Dye)]

Hi Eric,

The booktabs-notes function, below, is based on the booktabs function in
the library of Babel.  It takes a second table and adds it to the bottom
of the main table.  I use it to add multicolumn footnotes to the bottom
of the table.  There is also a switch that adds a linespace between the
main table and the notes table.  I think the function might be a useful
addition to the library of Babel.

I tried to design it to be a functional replacement for the booktabs
function, but don't trust my emacs-lisp (or other) programming skills.

All the best,
Tom
