org table proposal: merge and split cells in org-tables

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi

This subject is brought up regularly. 

In a conversation with Ihor Radchenko it was considered as being helpful
to provide a table in which cells are merged and split.

Here is one

+--------+-------------------------------------------------+
| Region |                      Sales                      |
|        +-------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+
|        |      Q1     |    Q2     |    Q3     |    Q4     |
|        +-------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
|        | foo   | bar | foo | bar | foo | bar | foo | bar |
+--------+-------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
| North  | 350   |  46 | 253 |  34 | 234 |  42 | 382 |  68 |
+--------+-------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
| South  | 462   |  84 | 511 |  78 | 435 |  45 | 534 |  89 |
+--------+-------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+

Or better
