It'd be a nice feature in general -- I mean, getting the contents of a
table cell in shr, so that you can `C-w' the contents, for instance.

But it's difficult in general because of the way the tables are
rendered.  I guess one could put some text property on all the
characters in a cell to allow some command to put the text back together
again (say, `table-id #42351' or something), but I don't know what the
performance impact would be (and shr is plenty slow as it is).
