In many cases it is possible to "fake" multiline columns e.g.,
| first | second |
|------------------------+-----------------------------------------|
| some text here which | |
| is so long I'd like | |
| it wrapped | |
|------------------------+-----------------------------------------|
| some shorter text here | |
|------------------------+-----------------------------------------|
| | for simple display this works |
| | although I agree the contents won't be |
| | treated as a single cell by spreadsheet |
| | formula |
FWIW the lack of multiline cells used to bother me about org-mode
tables, but now I hardly notice their absence, and don't know how I
would use them if they were (with some syntax) supported.
