Thank you for implementing this.

Yes it does: SHIFT-RET on the last row of the tables
    | 2 |
    | 5 |
and
    | 2 |
and
    | [2014-04-30 Wed] |
    | [2014-05-07 Wed] |
and
    | [2014-04-30 Wed] |
increment as expected.

As I see only now the use case
    |  1.1 |
    | -0.5 |
does not seem easy to increment by -1.6 due to the formatting of the
result, so I don't expect it to be implemented. (number-to-string is
not enough because of the inaccuracy of the fraction.)

Wasn't the t meant to be nil?
