tableize is a small text utility that prints a table
from a formatted file or standard input. Example:
$ cut -d':' -f1,3-6 /etc/passwd | head | tableize -sd':'

During tableize's GNU evaluation, it appeared that the coreutils could be
the right place to be for this tool, even if it's not ready for a
coreutils' integration right now.
Looking for feedback, comments, experience, tableize is still in development
and nothing's written in the stone yet (options, program name, etc.).
Any input appreciated.

Guillaume
