[Orgmode] row and col spaning in table?

[David Hajage]

Hello,

I think org-mode is a very great tool. I use a lot of tables in my documents produced with org, and I was wondering if row and col spaning was possible?

If not, is there any plan to add this feature in a future release? So that this kind of tables work:

I know this is not a small request, and I don't know how to adapt spreadsheet capabilities to that kind of table, but...

Thank you very much.
