hey @alex.designworks, what do you think about:

1. adding a tablefield.api.php file to include the example of how to use the alter hook

2. ensure the table is actually rectangular after the alter. I know that the current import function does not do it either, but since the patch introduces a way to easily change the table data, maybe that would be good to have. Tablefield expects the table array to be rectangular.

That is, the patch calculates the max col count, however it does not mean that every row necessarily has that max col count. Can you add code to ensure that?
