There is no plan for this right now.
But what about cheating a bit and play with the _display_ of the table?
| Header | Header |
|-------------+--------|
| I want to | |
| write stuff | |
| on several | |
| lines | |
You should be able to export this table to HTML or LaTeX and simulate a
multiline cell on the first column. Just a workaround, but could do in
some situations.
Also, note that you can shrink the cell length by adding <length>:
|---+------------------------------| |---+--------|
| | | | | <6> |
| 1 | one | | 1 | one |
| 2 | two | ----\ | 2 | two |
| 3 | This is a long chunk of text | ----/ | 3 | This=> |
| 4 | four | | 4 | four |
|---+------------------------------| |---+--------|
which helps having long text in a single-line cell.
HTH,
