2D slice vs 2D table #1

@RickMoynihan

Description

@RickMoynihan

Guy raised a good point that there's a distinction between a 2D slice, and a table.

Tables are ordered and assign dimensions explicitly to rows/columns.

If we support N dimensional slices, then 2D slices would be useful as they generalise the N dimensional slice case.

This makes me think we might want different accept headers; or more likely routes; e.g. /slice /table.

What would a slice view look like? Obviously we could return something like json-stat; but perhaps we should focus on slice summaries? e.g. specifying response keys for things like:locked-dimensions, :free-dimensions, the presence of or number of observations if you walk that way, etc.
