I would encourage it!

A Pd-vanilla approach to table manipulations is sadly lacking, and list-abs is a beautiful API to adhere to.

I'm sure that many rj-dj programmers wouldn't mind something like this...

Ah, yes, thanks!  I've said it before -- one of my favorite things
about list-abs is their use in pedagogy -- you can get "under the
hood" in them with music students and they don't have to learn C to do
it (each of the list-abs objects could be written much more
efficiently in C but it's nice to have them as abstractions, and
vanilla abstractions at that).  These iem_tab objects are great as far
as use-within-a-patch is concerned, though, so again thanks.  Maybe
I'll make my own abstractions for pedagogy.
