You're suggesting a [d] choice, subdividing the horizontal headers.
It seems to me like a pretty radical change, multiplying the number
of columns, and it has also the potential to give poor results visually.
Let's see if more feedback comes.

yes, I know, plan @d needs lot of new code - and described feature is from "nice to have" kind.

The prerequisite is enhancing drawing system in psql to support multiattribute (records) cells  - what can be nice feature generally.

Some like:

id  |    C1      |     C2    |
    +---+----+---+---+---+---+
    |A1 | A2 |A3 |A4 |A5 |A6 |
====+===+====+===+===+===+===+
    |   |    |   |   |   |   |

Without this possibility plan @d is impossible.
