Isn't it ghastly? Works great though. I'm definitely using booktabs and
enjoying it. That's the nice thing about tabu, it does a good job of
using extend existing table packages (longtable, colortab, etc) rather
than rolling its own. I'm particularly pleased with the siunitx
integration -- it means I can get rid of a table filter that added
\num{NN} all over the place.
