Alternative format for displaying column headings

The new option for displaying column and row headings was rolled out. However, early feedback is that doesn't solve all problems. An alternative format is desired that displays the data in a hybrid List Report/Pivot Report format. It would basically display the data in a similar fashion as to the List Report with Column Headings at the top of each column but also have the option to create pivot row groupings.
