But, can you do _this_ in the popular note apps?

[Actually, the software of choise here would be a spreadsheet,
 which we have in-house in Emacs for that matter. But, doing
 it in Elisp just makes it more interesting and fun! See also
 how much fun you can have with the interesting
 mini/sub-language of `cl-loop', but it is an acquired taste.]
