Thank you for this great library! I have been enjoying blueprintjs with appreciation.

Is there any possibility to introduce merge cell feature?

Research direction
Investigate the Blueprint Table component source code, specifically how cells are rendered and how the data model is structured. Look for any existing discussions or related issues about merging cells. Since there is no clear implementation path, the contributor should propose a design for merging cells, considering both row and column merging, and assess impact on existing features like sorting and selection.
