Re: Tables, Row straddling

The @Tab symbol has spanning columns but not spanning rows.  Lout's
underlying machinery permits spanning rows but they have never been
packaged for presentation to the ordinary user.
 
If you want to be clever you can try
 
    -90d @Rotate @Tab
        @Fmta { @Col 90d @Rotate A ! @Col 90d @Rotate B ! ... }
    {
        ...
    }
 
That is, rotate the table so that @Tab's spanning columns come out
as spanning rows, then rotate each entry back again.  OK, it's crazy,
but it would work.
