Description
The {{Table}} and {{StripedTable}} scope functions have no way to merge cells across columns or rows (colspan / rowspan).
Current syntax only splits each line on || and wraps every fragment in a separate <td>. There is no documented parameter or cell-level marker for spanning.
Simple grid tables work well today. Merged header cells and grouped rows are common in documentation (feature matrices, schedules, comparison tables, forms). Without spanning, those layouts have to be faked with nested tables, repeated text, or CSS tricks.

Research direction
Start by locating the Table and StripedTable scope-function implementations and the parser that splits each line on ||. Define a documented cell-level syntax or parameter for colspan and rowspan, then verify that merged headers and grouped rows render correctly without breaking simple grid tables.
