I've been away since my last post and now you've already applied a patch
-- wow! Here's another thought though: change the behaviour of the :var
header argument such that you can specify a range of rows, columns, or
a rectangle just like in table references. I agree that wildly mixing
cell types in a table should be a felony, but "mixing" them the way I'd
like to makes perfect sense. You would then simply make more than one
:var to specify multiple subtables, each with its own type. I think
this might be better than brute-forcing everything to string just so
that the asymptote program has to parse the values back to numbers.
What do you think?
