--Approach:
--1) Replace col-spanning cells with separate cells and indicate which cells to merge
--2) Replace row-spanning cells with separate cells and indicate which cells to merge
--3) Capture the cells of the unspanned table in two 2D arrays (format, content)
-- ) Transpose the cells
-- ) Create the new table
-- ) Recreate col (now row) spans
-- ) Recreate row (now col) spans
