Can we lightly background color every other rowgroup (i.e., "greenbar")?

I don't think having a separate Result column helps. The additional
horizontal whitespace distances all relevant context information (at least
on a wide monitor). Having the example rows mirror the Signature row seems
like an easier to consume choice.

e.g.,

enum_first(null::rainbow) → red

date '2001-09-28' + 7 → 2001-10-05

Its also removes the left alignment in a fixed width column which draws
unwanted visual attention.
