Merging cells, rowspand, colspan in iTextSharp PDFPCell PDFPTable

If you're using cells it's easy:
http://itextsharp.sourceforge.net/tutorial/ch05.html
example 5 (Chap0505.pdf)
it looks like this:

cell.Rowspan = 2;

cell.BorderColor = new Color(255, 0, 0);

table.addCell(cell);

table.addCell("1.1");

table.addCell("2.1");

table.addCell("1.2");

table.addCell("2.2");

table.addCell("cell test1");

cell = new Cell("big cell");

cell.Rowspan = 2;

cell.Colspan = 2;

cell.BackgroundColor = new Color(0xC0, 0xC0, 0xC0);

table.addCell(cell);

if you're using PDFPTable and PDFPCells no such things as an easy RowSpan ColSpan of course
We need to use nested tables what an horrible solution:
