That works. I like having the title immediately above the table.
The other option that came to mind would be to place the time information
after the table display while leaving the title before it. On an output
that requires more vertical space than is available in the terminal one
would no longer have to scroll up to confirm last execution time. If doing
this I'd probably get rid of any logic that attempts to center the time
information on the table and simply leave it left-aligned.
