I'm thinking I'll strip that out to make [table] an object in its own right, and then add inlets like [tabwrite] and an outlet like [tabread].

Supporting all is probably not needed, since [table] seems to act like a subpatch rather than a full canvas.  For example, sending "menusave" to a [table] saves the whole patch that [table] is embedded in.
