Currently, TableSlice::print_tty() panics on I/O errors. I think it should return an error instead of panicking, because I/O errors are not exceptional situations. Panics are reserved to exceptional situations.
For example, failing to write to the standard output due to a broken pipe (EPIPE) is very common when commands are piped to head, tail, more, etc. The current behavior causes applications using this crate to panic when that happens, instead of simply exiting. See issue 16 in bingrep.
