Why not, like the apache arrow Table class, have the tables be iterable? Then arquero tables could be passed directly to d3.selection.data() without calling `.objects()` at all. This seems to work: aq.internal.Table.prototype[Symbol.iterator] = function *(x) { const columns = this.columnNames().map(name => [name, this.column(name)]) for (let i = 0; i < this._nrows; i++) { const out = {}; for (let [name, column] of columns) { out[name] = column.get(i) } yield out } }

Thanks! While I like that an explicit objects() call might help users keep in mind the copying cost, on the other hand I like the directness of adding iterator support, which I think will prove more usable. Moved this to a GitHub issue which is a better venue for feature requests.
