Multi-level column headers / sub-grouping

If you have multiple columns that belong together (e.g. different readouts per assay) it would be space efficient to group them visually and just display the group name once above the others. It also gives a nice visual cue which columns belong together. This type of table header rendering is available in our current frontend and is a big advantage over spotfire table rendering.

Please find an example rendering attached which demonstrate the increased visual space efficiency of the grouping.

      Niklas, I prepared an example which is a bit simplified from the screenshot. This would be suitable for automatic parsing by splitting at the "#". However, I think it would even be better if columns could be grouped together interactively by the user to have full flexibility.
