Hi all,
In a book on construction engineering I found two kind of tables that
presumably could be set very nicely in ConTeXt (see attachments). Set with
MetaPost within natural tables?
1) Curly braces that span over cells: Their height should be depending to the
cell's height (nr=2 oder nr=3).

2) Arrows that are pointing from one cell to an other (middle or border of
cell),

To me this looks like standard purpose, that most like is already pre-defined
somewhere in Metapost/MetaFun/ConTeXt (MkII please!) ...
Is there any MetaPost guru out there that knows these cases?
use textbackgrounds ... instead of drawing lines you then do a textext
that does a \left{ in math alongside a vbox that has the height of the
lefgt boundary etc etc
