I am aware of a number of these workarounds.
The specific one you are proposing does not work for me as the markdown =
tables are in collaboratively edited documents and I can=E2=80=99t get =
the other authors to do any special dance around the tables; orgtbl-mode =
has to just work.

Besides, a 83-line workaround for what can be done seamlessly by =
changing one line of code?

(Yes, it would be nice to also preserve the column alignments, but we =
already have a solution that gets around that limitation.)
