Subject: [proposal] enhancement of Org-Mode tables and related features

Hi
1) Org-Mode tables currently do not have an easy way to format each
cell individually. For regular text, I can select a region and do M-x
fill-paragraph and that works fine, but for Org-Mode tables, I cannot
do that. Yes, I know about M-x org-table-wrap-region , I have tried to
use it for a few hours, read the manuals, read pages that talked about
it and I was unable to get it working.
2) As a user, I'd also really appreciate M-x RET to work better.
Currently if I go somewhere on a line and run that, the text until
the end of that line is deleted and prepended to the start of the next
line. So, by doing that, I solved the length of the text on the current
line, but now I moved the problem to the next line, where the text is
again longer than it should be.
3) I've used C-c ` a few times and tried to make sense of it. As far
as I can tell it only works for one line.
For me personally, in order for C-c ` to be useful, I would expect
it to work on the entire table cell, not just one line in the table cell.
These are my suggestions for improvements. I welcome feedback on them.
Thanks for taking the time to read this
