Well, this returns the column number in the elided table, not the
original table.  In other words, after columns have been removed before
processing for export.

I need the row and column numbers in the original table in the org file,
not what is actually exported!

And this one gives me an error which I do not understand:

,----
| Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument listp table-row)
|   org-element-property(:type table-row)
|   (eq (org-element-property :type row) (quote standard))

Any suggestions very welcome!

Thanks,
