Hi,

I want to typeset a table where some of the column headings are really long, 
while in the columns itself consists only of numbers.
Therefore, my idea was to rotate the column headings but not 90 degrees (I 
found some solutions for that) but 45 degree.

It then would be beneficial to push together the rotated cells, so the text of 
one cell actually starts above the previous cell.
Do you know, how to achieve that?

Here is a minimal example:
```
\startsetups[table:rotated]
        \setupTABLE[frame=off]
        \setupTABLE[row][first][bottomframe=on, style=bf, align={center, low}]
        \setupTABLE[row][2][align=flushright]
\stopsetups

\starttext
\define\tablerotate{\dontleavehmode\rotate[rotation=-45, location=high]}
\bTABLE[setups=table:rotated]
        \bTR \bTD \eTD \bTD \tablerotate{Water buffalo} \eTD \bTD 
\tablerotate{Mexican redknee tarantula} \eTD \bTD \tablerotate{European turtle 
dove} \eTD \eTR
        \bTR \bTD Amount of legs \eTD \bTD \digits{4} \eTD \bTD \digits{8} \eTD 
\bTD \digits{2} \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE
\stoptext
```
I would like to achieve that the text "Mexican redknee tarantula" is typeset 
right and above of "Water buffalo" so that the single columns have a width that 
is similar to the width of the single digit coming in the second row.

Another question in this context: Is is possible to specify a \setupTABLE 
command that works for column 2-4 starting from row 2?
Something like \setupTABLE[row][2-][column][2,3,4][background=color, 
backgroundcolor=red].
In this example this would cover all numbers but nothing else.

Best
