The scenario that came to mind when I was deciding whether or not to  
automatically create columns when passing in headers as the first key:

Application has a table and allows user to select a text file to  
import. The text file has some additional columns besides those being  
defined in the table. As a developer do you want those extra columns  
to automatically be displayed in the table?

Maybe, maybe not. It is simple enough to create the columns yourself  
if you do and this way there are no unintended consequences in your  
shipping application.

It is true that setting the dgText without providing column headers  
will create columns for you but really that was only done so that a  
developer using a table for the first time could enter some data in  
the property inspector and see it appear in the data grid.
