The TABLE rule identifies a table either by index or by containing evidence
Score calculation
Scores its given weight if all its children occur in a particular detected table
Evidence calculation
The evidence is the set of phrase ranges describing the tables
NB these are always effectively the union of the table’s cell phrase ranges and so the count of phraseranges is guaranteed to be the count of tables
