The test case did show several problems:
- The alignment argument was not parsed correctly if it was not in braces
- There one column too much created, since I did not take into account that
the current cell must bge replaced by the multicolumn cell
- If the last line of an array contained only an empty multicolumn cell, then
the complete multicolumn was swallowed
- The decision whether to output the column separator & was sometimes wrong
for multicolumns
