I think you missed the point that I'm trying to do this in Elisp. This is for a 
small package I'm writing. I couldn't
find a function anywhere that prints an ASCII table with spans. I thought it 
would be trivial to write one, turned out
to be a bit trickier than I expected. I'm surprised that something like this 
doesn't exist already. I'm still hoping
someone already solved that.
