Hook means that the table cell contents are passed to the specified
command as an argument. You could use \uppercased for example to
capitalize an entry.
And indeed, I was thinking of controlling horizontal spacing by saying
something like before=\hskip1em.
I really do hope that natural tables will be further developed, since
these are the only things I can see that are available only using the
older mechanisms. And natural tables can do so many additional cool
things that I don't want to use anything else.
