When enabled, the first row of each table will be excluded from vertical (^) calculations. This is useful when header rows contain numbers that shouldn't be included in sums, averages, etc. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

- Extend the direction grammar with `>` (right) and `v` (down), mirroring the existing `^`/`<` semantics including optional start:end ranges. - When the user adds a row to a table whose last row contains a formula (e.g. via Obsidian's `+` button), automatically swap it so the formula row stays at the bottom and the new empty row lands above it. - README: document the new directions, the existing `DIV` operation, the `Skip header row` setting (from upstream PR eatcodeplay#13), and add a fork notice describing what differs from upstream.

Summary
Problem
When table headers contain numbers (e.g., "Q1 2024", "Item #", or numeric column labels), these get included in vertical calculations like
sum^oravg^, producing incorrect results.Solution
A simple toggle that, when enabled, starts vertical calculations from row index 1 instead of 0, effectively skipping the header row.
Test plan
sum^,avg^, etc. exclude the header values🤖 Generated with Claude Code
