Hmm. So what I'm wondering is this: could we put the table object in a
chain, so that, for example, I could bang a counter, send the outlet
of the counter into the inlet of a "table $1-table" object, and thus
create new tables (1-table, 2-table, 3-table, etc) on demand as
needed?

Ah, OK, I won't worry about that part then :-)
