Do you plan to add something equivalent to \setupTABLE[<row>][<column>][<settings>] because xtables lack the function to set values for certain rows/columns.

in TABLE that is both flexible and a slow-downer but in xtreme table we have named cells, rows, cellgroups, rowgroups (also a bit better abstraction and fits nicely in the setup handler; in TABLE is boils down to storing the setup and reprising)

Can you at least add a command to access the current row/column (e.g. \currentxtablerow and \curentxtablecolumn), this way one can use metapost to create special background (e.g. different colors for odd/even rows) without manual tagging each row.
