We cannot split within table cells.  So, if you have a table cell too
big to fit on a page, you're in trouble.

If you know this is going to happen, you'll have to design your data
or document differently.  If it's something that can occur sometimes
with exceptional values, and you want to know where without getting a
traceback, is there any way you can preprocess the data and truncate
exceptionally long values, or warn before formatting starts?
