IIUC `table.el` was designed under the assumption that the table would
be edited interactively rather than from ELisp.
I'm not saying it won't work, but the lack of info may just reflect that
nobody has thought about it yet. Maybe you can contribute to the doc
(and/or code if it proves necessary) after you find out how to do it?
