Think of it this way:  A table view allows the user to interact with a  
collection of objects, one property per column.  This is as true for  
your single-column table view as it is for your multi-column table  
view.  Thus rather than trying to bind the table view directly to a  
collection of strings, you should bind it to a collection of objects  
that have some string property.
