@arunsrinivasan this nests the previous PR since we didn't manage to iron out the kinks before you signed off yesterday. I'm not sure the protocol for serial PRs like this. Of course don't want to get too far ahead in case we need revisions but it seems #1529 is ready to merge.
A note about implementation:
It seems like from the feedback we're gotten in the FR & Frank's comment, people are mainly using this on sorted tables; I think the implementation on an unsorted table is a bit harder (and probably slower), so I left an error for trying to use this on unsorted tables.
The way to do it with an unsorted table is with
rle
, but I decided it wasn't worth the effort of figuring out how to make that work; we'll see if it comes up again in a future FR.
