Thanks. Your example is the sort of solution that I came up with.
It's a script I'll be needing in a general way, so I'll probably turn it into an ado file.

Is there a quick way to get Stata to format a two-way table showing means, SEs, and CIs for a third variable?

tabulate summarize doesn't seem to do SEs and CIs

tabstat gets angry if I try to give it two by variables.
Nick gave some code, and I too was busy along his line, with a slightly
different twist:
*---------------- begin example -------------------------
sysuse auto, clear
preserve
collapse (mean) mean=mpg (sd) sd=mpg (count) N=mpg ///
if !missing(rep78,foreign), by(foreign rep78) gen se = sd/sqrt(N)
gen df = N-1
gen lb = mean - invttail(df,0.025)*se
gen ub = mean + invttail(df,0.025)*se
drop sd N df
reshape wide mean se lb ub, i(rep78) j(foreign)
mkmat mean0-ub1, matrix(table) rownames(rep78)
matrix colnames table = domestic:mean domestic:se domestic:lb ///
domestic:ub foreign:mean foreign:se ///
foreign:lb foreign:ub
matlist table, format(%9.2f) rowtitle("repair record") tw(13)
restore
*------------------- end example -----------------------------
