On the DataSet class, we have things like to_csv, and to_html

Data::Table hasn't gotten these yet.  I use the as() method because it
can take a block that lets you do complex formatting.

I think for Data::Table, i will method_missing it to recognize
to_plugin_name methods, so that even user created formatting plugins
are recognized.
