--- Comment #5 from Heiko Tietze <tietze.heiko at gmail.com> ---
Missed the use case myself but mmister wrote it at the end: "The feature is
important to provide a better formatting for complex spreadsheets". Let's
rephrase this into: "When I use a spreadsheet to present data it happens that
after entering a lot of numbers I need to split a cell." That's possible in
Writer and Draw/Impress (Table > Split Cells... via menu in Writer and context
menu in Impress). 

When no other product offers a feature it also means your invention will be
proprietary eventually. LibreOffice is proud to deliver _one_ tool for the
manipulation open document format; it's up to the user to switch from one to
another tool, which is a great result from open source. So your request goes to
ODF, presuming that Calc tables are differently defined.

> This technology would require a WHOLE REPROGRAMING of how Calc works.

Wouldn't be my advice to throw away +30 years of work of hundreds of
contributors for a feature that is available in other modules. :-)
