get_dust_part

Making customized table headers and footers requires a
 data frame be added to the <code>dust</code> object that has the same
 column dimension as the rest of the table. In order to reduce the 
 inconvenience of counting columns, <code>get_dust_part</code> extracts the 
 data frame portion currently in use. This ensures the column dimension
 is correct with the current values, and provides an object suitable
 for editing.

The introduction of the 'broom' package has made converting model
objects into data frames as simple as a single function. While the 'broom'
package focuses on providing tidy data frames that can be used in advanced
analysis, it deliberately stops short of providing functionality for reporting
models in publication-ready tables. 'pixiedust' provides this functionality with
a programming interface intended to be similar to 'ggplot2's system of layers
with fine tuned control over each cell of the table. Options for output include
printing to the console and to the common markdown formats (markdown, HTML, and
LaTeX). With a little 'pixiedust' (and happy thoughts) tables can really fly.
