The new table.el should become a new kind of minor mode, a
`context-dependent minor mode'.
This categorization will enables someone to proceed from what he or
she already knows to a new concept: from knowledge of modes in
general to the concept of keys that work only in a specific context,
not throughout a buffer.
This will help people learn to handle, remember, and think about the
new feature.
[At the moment I am traveling and about 4,000 email messages behind;
my apologies if table.el has already been defined at a
context-dependent minor mode. My discovery is that when I started to
think about table.el again after not thinking about it for a while, I
realized I was conceptualizing table.el as a context-dependent minor
mode.]
