Change the table theme to the specified theme for a single run

> [[a b]; [1 2] [2 [4 4]]] | table --theme basic

Force showing of the #/index column for a single run

> [[a b]; [1 2] [2 [4 4]]] | table -i true

Set the starting number of the #/index column to 100 for a single run

> [[a b]; [1 2] [2 [4 4]]] | table -i 100

Force hiding of the #/index column for a single run

> [[a b]; [1 2] [2 [4 4]]] | table -i false

Notes

If the table contains a column called 'index', this column is used as the table index instead of the usual continuous index.
