Description
#### Bug, feature request, or proposal:
Feature Request
#### What is the expected behavior?
To be able to make a second footer/header in which I can use the same columns but different data for the cells then the other footer/header
#### What is the current behavior?
Currently you can have multiple mat-footer-rows on a table but it has to have matColumnDefs for each one. IE let's say I have a second footer row that I want to go into the same columns that are setup but with different data. The only way I can see to do this is to make a new array of columns, send that into that footerDef and make the matColumnDefs for those.
#### What are the steps to reproduce?
https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-tcdbaj
#### What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?
The use case is to have multiple footers or headers that have different data, about that column
#### Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?
Angular 6.0.9, Newest Material, etc
#### Is there anything else we should know?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior in the linked StackBlitz example and reading the Angular Material table header and footer definitions involved. Done means multiple header or footer rows can reuse the same columns while supplying different cell data, with the existing example demonstrating the behavior.
