Am I right if I say that the ":compact t" option is not allowed, or does not
have any effect for a "columnview" table?

#+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id local :compact t
| Task                                    | Estim. |
|-----------------------------------------+--------|
| *** Excel table                         |    150 |
| **** WP 2 -- Pilot ready for deployment |     40 |
| ***** Finalize the report               |     10 |

| ***** Add new basic reports             |     50 |
#+END:

Shouldn't these be based on the same "table" core as the "clockreport"?  Or is
it possible to emulate one within the other?

Best regards,
  Seb
