One more crazy idea. What if there were a choice of two vertical
separators? Currently '|' is the only character used for this purpose.
If, however, something like '\' were used to signal a multi-line cell,
then it would be possible to control this feature on a row-by-row
basis. As soon as the user replaces one of the '|' characters with
'\', all vertical separators in that row also change, converting all
of its cells to multi-line text. This has the advantage of being
backward compatible and not overloading the horizontal line separator.
