Maybe python, via tk, can use tktable? It is on sourceforge. Each cell
in tktable can be filled with anything, including another table. Mapping
it to a C data structure is straight forward. The table can be sparse in
that unused cells be not be linked to any data. If it works with python
is another matter.
