Better table shipping

I like the table shipping feature, but would like it expanded to offer more than just one option.

For example, we offer our customer the following shipping options:

Ground: 5-8 business days
2 Day: 2 business days
Overnight: Next business day

---

We keep the options generic because this allows us to take the customer’s desired shipping option and price compare between shippers (ie: UPS, FedEx, and USPS) to see who will give us the best rate.

Our customer of course pays a standard table rate—that we manually adjust each quarter or so depending on changes in the rates that we pay.

Anyway, as of now, I only see the ability to offer one table shipping option, not three like we prefer to do.  Would be nice to offer more than one.

I would like to see the option for adding multiple rate tables as well. We have rate tables for Ground, 2nd Day and USPS; where USPS is used for all PO Boxes, AK, HI and APO orders.

I envision that in the Shipping Methods panel there is the option of adding new Method, perhaps using a select for the method name field and populating the data based on the method name selected.
