I fail to see the use case for this.  Yes, this can
be useful sometimes, and you can use `C-c C-x C-w' and
`C-c C-x C-y' to cut and paste individual fields or
even rectangular regions.  But for pushing a cell value
to a neighboring cell, I don't see a frequent use that
would call for a special command beyond what I listed above.
Do you?
