Or an "advanced" approach might be to put the data in a model as children
of top-level items, then use a QTreeView to display it. The top-level items
could be styled differently to resemble headers. That might be a bit tricky
to implement if you're familiar with QTableWidget, though.

It depends on whether you want to keep support for editing and table-like
functionality, or whether the table is just there for display purposes.
