But not a random mess.  We can observe

   0 1 2 3 (+ %)/ 0 1 2 3
_ 2 2.5 3.33333

The body above is (part of "expected" heading) , diagonal .  Perhaps a new
table adverb could restore 1 2 3 to the heading and display _ 2 2.5 3.33333
as the diagonal of the body, with spaces elsewhere in the body.

Or perhaps not.  I don't know whether the behavior of  (+ %)/ above is
typical for rank infinity arguments to adverb / .
