Hmm, it would be nice if [table] allowed all the niceities of arrays, just by typing in optional extra variables.
For instance [table foo 100 save last GOP poly], would make GOP polygonal array which saves it's contents in the last graph. Dunno if that's a really good example, but the general idea would be nice. Especially if it included ranges and such too.
Would this be difficult to implement?

...I also have a question related to this, or possibly a bug? On
OSX, I can't seem to "save contents" of tables, but it works if I
just create an array...one difference between the two is that upon
creation of an array, the "save contents" box is already checked in
the array preference panel: when creating a table, this box is
unchecked...
...does anyone see this on other platforms?
