Right now I provide the data as:
var tabledata = @[
js{ id:1, name:"Oli Bob".cstring, age:"12".cstring, col:"red".cstring,
dob:"".cstring },
js{ id:2, name:"Mary May".cstring, age:"1".cstring, col:"blue".cstring,
dob:"14/05/1982".cstring },
js{ id:3, name:"Christine Lobowski".cstring, age:"42".cstring,
col:"green".cstring, dob:"22/05/1982".cstring },
js{ id:4, name:"Brendon Philips".cstring, age:"125".cstring,
col:"orange".cstring, dob:"01/08/1980".cstring },
js{ id:5, name:"Margret Marmajuke".cstring, age:"16".cstring,
col:"yellow".cstring, dob:"31/01/1999".cstring },
]

I can avoid it by means of:
var data = @[
( id:1, name:"Oli Bob", age: 12, col:"red", dob:""),
( id:2, name:"Mary May", age:1, col:"blue", dob:"14/05/1982" ),
( id:3, name:"Christine Lobowski", age:42, col:"green", dob:"22/05/1982"
),
( id:4, name:"Brendon Philips", age:125, col:"orange", dob:"01/08/1980" ),
( id:5, name:"Margret Marmajuke", age:16, col:"yellow", dob:"31/01/1999"
),
]
proc set(this:Tabulator, data:seq[tuple[id:int,name:string, age:int,
col:string, dob:string]]) =
var tmp = newSeq[JsObject]()
for i in data:
var obj = newJsObject()
obj.id = i.id
obj.name = i.name.cstring
obj.age = i.age
obj.col = i.col.cstring
obj.dob = i.dob.cstring
tmp &= obj
this.setData(tmp)

How could I convert `set` into a more generic function that admits any generic
sequence of tuples? Is it a macro my only alternative? Are you aware if such a
macro already exists?
