The modifier 'v' is a non-starter, as should have been obvious to me--
it's already taken.

tbl(1):

     v, V   Set the vertical spacing of a text block.  An integer n with
            an optional leading sign must follow.  If unsigned, the
            vertical spacing is set to n points.  Otherwise, the
            vertical spacing is incremented or decremented per the sign
            by n points.  The use of a signed multi‐digit number is a
            GNU extension.  (This parameter corresponds to that accepted
            by the troff vs request.)  If a vertical spacing modifier is
            followed by a column separation modifier (see below), they
            must be separated by at least one space or tab.
