If you go for it, I'd argue that the columns should still be denoted
by a single pipe instead of requiring doubles. Then a regular table
can be converted to one with colspans easier. Maybe double pipes mean
colspan?

Eg.

    [ Table 2: Test of a complex table                  ]

    |            | Imported       | Domestic            |
    |            | Beans || Peas  | Carrots || Tomatoes |
    |            | ----- || ----- | ------- || -------- |
    | Wholesale  | $1.00 || $1.25 | $1.20   || $1.20    |
    | Retail     | $2.00 || $3.00 | $1.80   || $1.80    |
