Shapes spanning multiple grid cells in flowchart

Shapes spanning multiple grid cells in flowchart

Hello,

I've just started to use Context because of its great flowcharting module.
However, I'd like to use shapes that span multiple grid cells. This is what
I would like to accomplish:

|-------|    |-------|    |-------|
|       |<-->| box 2 |<-->| box 3 |
|       |    |-------|    |-------|
| box 1 |
|       |    |-------|    |-------|
|       |<-->| box 4 |<-->| box 5 |
|       |    |-------|    |-------|
|       |
|       |
|       |
|-------|


I could not find a way to do this in the manual. Every shape in the manual
has the same size. Thanks for the help!

Martijn

Current version of flowchart does not support this feature. Cells are 
arranged in a regular grid without spanning.

i remember looking into it but i cannot find any related code; it should be doable but it's not a quick hack thing; hope for a few very rainy days and remind me after the tex live code freeze
