For me it would be already enough and preferred when the increment
would be the same as in the two fields above point. Like in other well
known spreadsheet applications. Without new Org custom variables and
without the possibility or requirement of providing a table formula:

    | 2 |
    | 5 |

    SHIFT-RET =>

    | 2 |
    | 5 |
    | 8 |

or

    |  1.1 |
    | -0.5 |

    SHIFT-RET =>

    |  1.1 |
    | -0.5 |
    | -2.1 |

or

    | [2014-04-30 Wed] |
    | [2014-05-07 Wed] |

    SHIFT-RET =>

    | [2014-04-30 Wed] |
    | [2014-05-07 Wed] |
    | [2014-05-14 Wed] |

etc.
