Hello,

I think org-mode is a very great tool. I use a lot of tables in my documents
produced with org, and I was wondering if row and col spaning was possible?
If not, is there any plan to add this feature in a future release? So that
this kind of tables work:

|       | 120+      | n   | 4     | 3     | 4     | 4     | 4     | 2    |

|       |           | col | 0.27  | 0.20  | 0.25  | 0.25  | 0.27  | 0.18 |
|-------+-----------+-----+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+------|

I know this is not a small request, and I don't know how to adapt
spreadsheet capabilities to that kind of table, but...

Thank you very much.
David
