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.
