It says that there is a known issue with hline references on the left side of table formulas, but I did not quite understand the details. There seems to be a proposed fix by interpreting said references as ranges with the same on both sides, for example @II$2 would become @II$2..@II$2 and would then be interpreted properly. Was the issue with this fix that it does not work in all cases? There also seems to be some counterintuitive use of these references that is useful to some people and included in the tests and fixing the issue would interfere with that use. If I said that right, could someone explain the details of this? There was a mention that fixing the issue might involve rewriting much of org-table. Is that a concern?
