    Unless I'm missing a step.  Actually I would be happy if that were the
    case, as I have one situation where it would be very helpful to show
    data from the foreign table.

    Insert an owner in this table:
    db.define_table('owners',
                   Field('name', length=32),
                   format = '%(name)s',
                  )

    Insert two dogs in this table.  Point owner_id to the owner inserted
    above.
    db.define_table('dogs',
                   Field('owner_id', 'reference owners'),
                   Field('name', length=32),
                   format = '%(name)s',
                  )

    This grid will show two rows, reflecting the left join, but it won't
    show
    either dog's name or id.

    def index():
       columns = ('owners.name <http://owners.name>',  'dogs.id
    <http://dogs.id>', 'dogs.name <http://dogs.name>')
       query = db.owners.id <http://db.owners.id> > 0
       form = SQLFORM.grid(
           query,
           left = db.dogs.on(
               db.dogs.owner_id == db.owners.id <http://db.owners.id>
           ),
           columns=columns
       )
       return dict(form=form
