Currently the compact style looks something like this:

| Character | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| Y | Yes |
| N | No |

However I think that aligning the separator actually looks much better:

| Character | Meaning |
| --------- | ------- |
| Y | Yes |
| N | No |

The same goes for the tight style.

Thus I propose a new parameter called separator, which can either be aligned (aligned using header row) or fixed (exactly three dashes).

This parameter would default to aligned for the aligned style and to fixed to the compact and tight styles to keep the current behavior.
