I'm not talking about the manual. In my opinion, if there is a
function that works only on headlines according to the manual, then it
*must not* work in any other place. Otherwise some users might try
the function they once heard of in a sense not specified in the
documentation (here: in a table) and see that it works, and be
surprised when it no longer does (in a future version of org-mode, or
on a different computer). Therefore such "ghost features" must
actively be eliminated.
To me, the documentation is the leading specification of a piece of
software. Anything the software doesn't do that is in the docs is a
bug, but likewise anything it does do which the docs don't cover is
also a bug.

I fully agree.
