Is there any mechanism to span ROWS in (\start)tables
similar to column spanning through \use{3}{}?
The aim is to produce a multi-row column entry
as can be done via \bTD[nr=3] in \bTABLE.
\NC \use{3} ... \NC ...
or
\NC \THREE ... \NC ...
You can find more information on the wiki page:

This mechanism spans COLUMNS not rows.
Sorry for this wrong information.

I would like to produce
---------
|    | b |
|    |---|
| A | c |
|    |---|
|    | d |
---------
using \starttables,
as can be done with:
\setupTABLE[c][1][align=lohi]
\bTABLE
\bTR \bTC[nr=3]  A \eTC\bTC b \eTC \eTR
\bTR \bTC c \eTC \eTR
\bTR \bTC d \eTC \eTR
\eTABLE
Note that:
\starttables[|c|c|]
 \HL
 \VL \VL b \VL\AR
 \DC \DL \DR
 \VL A \VL c \VL\AR
\VL \smash{\vcenter{\hbox{\definedfont[Serif at 70pt]A}}} \VL c \VL\AR
...
\DC \DL \DR
 \VL \VL d \VL\LR
 \HL
\stoptables
does not quite do the job,
since the aim is to put a tall object
"A" spanning the three rows.
