table <-cell_from_position: at=point|event, allow_border=[bool] -> table_cell|point

Translate coordinate to cell or point. If the table contains a cell at the given location, this cell will be returned. Otherwise, if the location is within the column/row range of the table, a point will be returned containing the coordinates of the (empty) cell. This may be used to create a cell at the indicated location. For example:

start_typing(Table, Ev:event) :->
        get(Table, cell_from_position, Ev, CellOrPos),
        (   send(CellOrPos, instance_of, table_cell)
        ->  send(CellOrPos?image, keyboard_focus, @on)
        ;   object(CellOrPos, point(X, Y)),
                send(Table, append,
                     new(T, editable_text('')), X, Y),
                send(Table, compute), % force display now
                send(T, keyboard_focus, @on)
        ).
