I just took a look, Bluefish doesn't really make column spans or row
spans easy and those are specifically what I want to do.  I'm not even
sure if it really knows about them.

I'm after constructing tables with the following sort of (ASCII art) layout:-

+---------+---------+---------+
|         |         |         |
+---------+---------+---------+
|                   |         |
+---------+---------+---------+
|         |         |         |
+---------+---------+         |
|         |         |         |
+---------+---------+         |
|         |         |         |
+---------+---------+---------+

The above would actually work in reStructuredText but it's labourious
and messy to enter with an editor and I'm looking for an easier way to
do it.
