I was thinking perhaps use T(n,k) to compute the first n+1 terms of a row, and
plug them into a lagrange polynomial to get the kth term of the row (or perhaps
just expand a zero n+1th difference table out to it), and perhaps some symbolic
package could rearrange the sums into something simpler.
Maybe it can only be a program, and not a formula, though.
