Is 'special first _column_' really an org concept?  Recalc seems to only
look at each row individually.  This table:

  | * | 7 | 11 |   |
  | 1 | 8 | 11 |   |
  | * | 9 | 11 |   |
  #+TBLFM: $4=$2*$3

Then 'C-u C-c *' gives:

  | * | 7 | 11 | 77 |
  | 1 | 8 | 11 |    |
  | * | 9 | 11 | 99 |
  #+TBLFM: $4=$2*$3

The '1' in @2 did not interfere at all with special recalc of @1 & 3.

I hope not as the current behavior is very convenient and with little
risk of unintended or unwanted behavior.

thanks
