Subject: TABLES: split cells on columns

The feature of remove/add cell is quite important. Should be a feature
request.

Another important feature request is to split cells.

Example (copying and paste the example above)


Example:
I have the following table:
|        1 |        1 |
|        2 | two words|
|        3 |        4 |
|        4 |          |

Now I want to split cell  @2$2 and thus move the second part to the
following cell below  in column 2 down one step.

After:
|        1 |        1 |
|        2 |       two|
|          |     words|
|        3 |        4 |
|        4 |          |



I do it several times when I put much comments on an entry and the column
becomes much wider.

It is several commands (sometimes with rectangles, sometimes not depending
on the remaining of the table) .

Is there an easy way to do this?
