How can I make a control span multiple rows and columns in a TableLayoutPanel?

I like the TableLayoutPanel, I created something similar in 1.1. However is it possible to customise the table layout similar to HTML (i.e. rowspan & colspan). This would be really neat.

When a control is added to a TableLayoutPanel, five extra properties are added to it in the properties window, Cell, Column, ColumnSpan, Row and RowSpan.

ColumnSpan and RowSpan control how many columns and rows the control spans respectively.
