    Indents a table by column.
    - rows: A sequence of sequences of items, one sequence per row.
    - hadHeader: True if the first row consists of the column's names.
    - headerChar: Character to be used for the row separator line
    (if hasHeader==True or separateRows==True).
    - delim: The column delimiter.
    - justify: Determines how are data justified in their column.
    Valid values are 'left','right','center'.
    - separateRows: True if rows are to be separated by a line of 'headerChar's.
    - prefix: A string prepended to each printed row.
    - postfix: A string appended to each printed row.
    - wrapfunc: A function f(text) for wrapping text; each element in the table is first wrapped by this function.
