For example by leaving an empty row before the first data line.

You can, by inserting something like

     # Local Variables:
     # eval: (defun nz (n) (not (= 0 n)))
     # eval: (defun nw (s) (string-match "\\S-" s))
     # End:

Check the variable `enable-local-eval', and beware that setting it to t
could be exploited to execute unwanted code in a file you get
from someone.

One problem would be that function definitions
are not buffer-local, so the same functions would be defined for all
buffers.  If you use functions with the same name, but different
definitions in different files, the result would depend on the order
of visiting the files.

I don't think this is necessary, and no spreadsheet behaves like this.
Just press TAB a few times.
