This reminds me of a proposal I made in 2020 on this very matter:
<https://list.orgmode.org/87k0v361x9.fsf@gmail.com>.
I won’t re-hash it here, but if I am to apply that proposed syntax to the
example table it would look like this:
┌────
│ |---- |||||||| Sales |
│ | Region |-------------+-----------+-----------+-----------|
│ | || 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 |
└────
All the best,
Timothy
