        This is not quite what you want, but table.el
from Takaaki Ota, is an emacs mode for editing ascii tables. It is
capable of producing latex output. 

        It works quite nicely and will produce arbitrarily 
complex table designs. It would be nice to do some cute mode which
sticks the table in the comments, and dumps the latex out, but at the
moment I tend to maintain the table and latex separately.
