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:

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.
