No.

But if you don't need all the "luxory" of the table-package,
you could use the concatenation featire of lout to make
large tables, using the row- and column marks.
This expecially makes sense, if you use generated data.

On the other hand, maybe tables inside tables can solve your problem,
allowing the convenience of the table-package.


If lout would allow any ASCII-identifier for table-Cells,
not only 'A'...'Z', this would be nice.
But I doubt that will be implemented...
...even though I would vote for it.
