Description
Hi, great library, super impressed with the features, extensibility and performance. Will be switching my reddit client over to it for the next release.
I'm having a slight problem with some tables though, I tested against this post https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/5b5mlg/the_mean_prerelease_reveal_chart_all_currently/
you can see the markdown at: https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/5b5mlg/the_mean_prerelease_reveal_chart_all_currently.json under the self_text entry.
From what I can interpret the problem is that the table headers indicate 4 columns, but the actual rows have five, with the leftmost often being left empty, causing it to render only four columns. Is this an malformed edge-case that shouldn't be supported, a bug, or an option that can be toggled somewhere?
Thanks again!

Research direction
Start with the referenced Reddit post and its JSON self_text entry, then reproduce how Markdig renders the table with four header columns and rows containing five cells. Determine whether the malformed-table behavior is expected, a bug, or an option, and verify the chosen behavior against the reported example.
