Most of the definitional issues still apply: which table name are you
going to insert, and under what conditions?

If we're revising the protocol, there's no reason to hack up the column
label to carry two pieces of info; it'd be cleaner to provide a separate
slot in the T message to carry the table name. I just want to see a
reasonably complete spec for what the feature is supposed to do, before
we buy into it ...
