Please write a pull request and we'll review it. It's unlikely we'll change this functionality, though.

Good idea, but why not drop the vertical lines entirely? In many scientific publications, tables are drawn without them, and the result is quite good. The alignment of contents is enough for the eye to identify the columns.

If people still prefer the version with lines, I'd vote for the less heavy character available, e.g. │ (U+2502). It would also help if the REPL stopped using bold by default (JuliaLang/julia#11250).

The problem is the space between lines in the terminal which cannot be
changed in most terminal emulators, I think it is possible in iterm.
