Conversion of ReST tables to beamer create too many lines

[arthurzenika]

According to http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#simple-tables one can add lines to an existing line by adding an empty cell. In the produced beamer that example ends up creating one line for every line.

Example ReST

=====  =====
col 1  col 2
=====  =====
1      Second column of row 1.
2      Second column of row 2.
       Second line of paragraph.
3      - Second column of row 3.

       - Second item in bullet
         list (row 3, column 2).
\      Row 4; column 1 will be empty.
=====  =====

$ pandoc -f rst -t beamer /tmp/test.rst

\begin{frame}

\begin{longtable}[c]{@{}ll@{}}

col 1 & col 2
\\\noalign{\medskip}
