Well, I only just combined table~ with 'data structures' in 0.39 (I
think), because there were hundreds of lines of essentially duplicate
GUI code for the two types of arrays.

The other complication is that I'm trying to design a new system of
buffers suitable for images, perhaps with 8- 16- and 32- bit cells.
It would be desirable for tabread4~ and all that to be able to talk to
images too.  Big design problem...
