[uzuxktcw] Table with indexed notes

Table cells are too small to hold large amounts of text.  The standard technique is instead to put in the cell a numeric or symbolic footnote reference, and then have footnotes below the table.

We could do a little better than just a number: a several letter code or abbreviation can give a hint or summary of the contents of the footnote.  The abbreviations are given in alphabetical order below the table.

Inspired by Wikipedia tables, which make numbered footnotes easy, perhaps too easy.
