Hmm... maybe applitude spesific metadata for placing cells relatively to
their applitude's default positions would be simpler. Applitude
simply stores X and Y values how much user has placed/dragged the cell
apart from the place applitude (or should I speak about applitude's view?)
would have automatically (e.g. when operating with keyboard) placed it.
When cell has been dragged far enough from its place, the structure might
be modified: e.g. cell switches places with some other cell, or is moved
totally to different rank. I'm aiming to direct manipulation. It won't be
simple, but at least I should try it :)
