This mechanism spans COLUMNS not rows.

I would like to produce
---------
|    | b |
|    |---|
| A | c |
|    |---|
|    | d |
---------
using \starttables,
as can be done with:
\setupTABLE[c][1][align=lohi]
\bTABLE
\bTR \bTC[nr=3]  A \eTC\bTC b \eTC \eTR
\bTR \bTC c \eTC \eTR
\bTR \bTC d \eTC \eTR
\eTABLE

Note that:
\starttables[|c|c|]
 \HL
 \VL \VL b \VL\AR
 \DC \DL \DR
 \VL A \VL c \VL\AR
 \DC \DL \DR
 \VL \VL d \VL\LR
 \HL
\stoptables
does not quite do the job,
since the aim is to put a tall object
"A" spanning the three rows.
