Telling developers that AccessibilityTable made a heuristic decision to be a group rather than a table would be very helpful. Although, refactoring the method to include this information would be no easy task. The idea is that if AXTable decides to be a group as a result of our large stack of heuristic checks, we could just include a loc string explaining why. Something like: "presentational table because of missing border."

Also useful when exposing things like "computed label". It would be great if we could tell developers WHY they were seeing what they were seeing. That is, some additional information about how the label got computed. Seems like we could refactor our label computation code to take an additional bool that signals to the machinery that it should keep extra breadcrumb information around to expose (using a bool to avoid doing expensive work during normal computation). Your label comes from XYZ because of aria rule n, etc.
