feature request: TABLEs in columns

[Peter Münster]

Hello,

It would be very nice, if one could put splitted TABLEs in columns (or
column-sets) without restrictions:

text before columns
\startcolumns[n=X]
  some text spanning 1 or more columns, 1 or more pages
  \bTABLE[split=repeat]
    \bTABLEhead \bTR \bTH Head \eTH \eTABLEhead
    \bTABLEbody
      some table lines spanning 1 or more columns, 1 or more pages
    \eTABLEbody
  \eTABLE
  some text spanning 1 or more columns, 1 or more pages
  perhaps some more TABLEs and text...
\stopcolumns
text after columns

Cheers, Peter
