As I contemplate patching this, I would like to propose an interface change, 
such that if one passes in a n x 2 vector, assume that that vector should be 
calculated with weights, while if it is n x 1, it is calculated without 
weights.  Otherwise throw an error.

If I was writing the API from scratch I would do the following:  It would seem 
more graceful to have table take an N x M matrix of data points  for the first 
parameter, with each of the M columns a different variable.  The optional 
weights should be a matrix of the same dimension.  Then as the function is 
extended to more dimensions than 2, we don't add parameters.  I am just 
mentioning this for discussion purposes; I don't want to break api's for this.

Thoughts?
