I don't -- it would require a pretty full rewrite to handle these
things.  (And tabulated-list-mode has many other problems, like not
being able to have other text in the buffer, etc.)

So adding things like this, in my opinion, just makes
tabulated-list-mode more convoluted, but won't work properly for most
people, so I don't think we'll try to take tabulated-list-mode in this
direction, and I'm therefore closing this bug report.

Seems like they're getting through OK to me?
