Vertical text for table headers

[Valera]

Is it possible to have the table headers rendered vertically (e.g.
sideways)? For example, if I have some long text in the table headers,
it would be more convenient to display the text vertically.

I noticed that there is a :rotate option for
Prawn::Document::Text#text that allows the text to be rotated. Is
something like that a possibility for tables?

This isn't a very important feature (to me, at least), I was just
wondering if it's possible (or if someone has done it already). It
would probably be one of those "nice-to-have" features.

It's a possibility, but we do not support it yet.

It is a nice to have feature. Unfortunately, it lies atop one of our
only red-zones in Prawn. I don't want to accept patches to
prawn-layout (except for maybe grid support) until we have it
refactored.
