+This table will have a column for the array data and columns for each
+`Dimension` index, as a [`DimColumn`]. These are lazy, and generated

+
+Column names are converted from the dimension types using
+[`DimensionalData.dim2key`](@ref). This means type `Ti` becomes the
+column name `:Ti`, and `Dim{:custom}` becomes `:custom`.
+
+To get dimension columns, you can index with `Dimension` (`X()`) or
+`Dimension` type (`X`) as well as the regular `Int` or `Symbol`.
