For bookstabs you'd use \cmidrule(·){·-·}.

AFAIK, there's no support for this.

There's column groups, but they will insert vertical lines, which is
arguably (much) less interesting.

Perhaps we would add support for other groupings as well, e.g.

| / | ( | ) |   |
|   | a | b | c |
|---+---+---+---|

It would also be nice to add multicolumns.

For now you'd have to go with a filter or maybe use other means to produce
a table.  In the past, when I have needed more complex tables I've usually
used a mix of Hmisc in R, babel and some Emacs-lisp to clean it up...  Not
so nice.

Undoubtedly.
