There are a couple of small issues/typos with this gist, I'll fix them when I get the chance

Updated :)

Updated to fix triggered events not working on templated columns. The code now creates a viewslot as per other Aurelia controls and compiles each row rather than each cell.

Also removed the need for in the column templates. Any child elements are immediately a template

The file example-ts obviously defines a row of data (two cols) -- but where the heck is it used? I guess this gist is a collection of pieces, not all of them to be used in the same context.
