I still find it surprising that <:nil will remove the timestamp in:

  Lunch at [2013-04-04 Thu]

but not in

  | Lunch at [2013-04-04 Thu] |

I suppose I'll eventually get it.

Anyway, there's still another thing to ponder. Since everything in
a table is data, what happens with "tex:nil" (LaTeX snippets)? Should
this option also be ignored within a table? If not, how can we explain
the difference with "<:nil"?
