Dear list,
The Natural Tables have this great feature that I can control the layout with rowwise, columnwise,
or cellwise setups.  For example:
\starttext
\setupTABLE [frame=off]
\setupTABLE [r] [first] [topframe=on,bottomframe=on,style=bold]
\setupTABLE [c] [2]     [style=italic]
\setupTABLE [2] [3]     [color=red]
\setupTABLE [r] [last]  [bottomframe=on]
\startTABLE
   \NC A \NC A \NC A \NC\NR
   \NC B \NC B \NC B \NC\NR
   \NC C \NC C \NC C \NC\NR
   \NC D \NC D \NC D \NC\NR
   \NC E \NC E \NC E \NC\NR
\stopTABLE
\stoptext
it's also an extremely inefficient method
...
How can I do such a thing with Extreme Tables?  If it is not yet possible I'd like to request the
inclusion of such a mechanism.
from the manual, named setups:
\setupxtable[suffix][align=middle,foregroundcolor=red]
\setupxtable[blabla][foregroundstyle=slanted]
\setupxtable[crap]  [foregroundcolor=blue]
\setupxtable[bold]  [crap][foregroundstyle=bold]

\startxtable % [frame=off]
     \startxtablehead
         \startxrow[bold]
             \startxcell[suffix]       head a \stopxcell
             \startxcell[blabla]       head b \stopxcell
             \startxcell               head c \stopxcell
         \stopxrow
     \stopxtablehead
     \startxtablebody
         \startxrow
             \startxcell[suffix][ny=2] cell a 1 \stopxcell
             \startxcell               cell b 1 \stopxcell
             \startxcell               cell c 1 \stopxcell
         \stopxrow
         \startxrow
             \startxcell               cell b 2 \stopxcell
             \startxcell               cell c 2 \stopxcell
         \stopxrow
         \startxrow
             \startxcell[suffix]       cell a 3 \stopxcell
             \startxcell               cell b 3 \stopxcell
             \startxcell               cell c 3 \stopxcell
         \stopxrow
         \startxrow
             \startxcell[suffix]       cell a 4 \stopxcell
             \startxcell               cell b 4 \stopxcell
             \startxcell               cell c 4 \stopxcell
         \stopxrow
         \startxrow
             \startxcell[suffix]       cell a 5 \stopxcell
             \startxcell               cell b 5 \stopxcell
             \startxcell               cell c 5 \stopxcell
         \stopxrow
     \stopxtablebody
\stopxtable
