What do you mean by “convert”?

I know what it means to convert an int to a float: given an int, there is 
(often) a float with the same conceptual value. I don’t know what it means to 
convert a markup list to a markup, since there are many ways in which you can 
combine the stencils: \column, \center-column, \line, \concat, \fill-line, etc.

What is insufficient with \column for your use case? Are you trying to keep 
flexible vertical spacing between the table lines?
