That document says that a table object has methods getRows and getColumns. It
has a notion of Rows and Columns. Why can't a selection have the same notions,
and allow 2D navigation? It has a 2D structure, shown on screen. Why can't we
provide an API for this 2D structure, rather than flattening it into 1D, which
is what "getCellNames" does?

The same arrangement of cells, with different names, is possible in Calc. See
attachment.
