Yes, but there is too much repetitive code in tmtable currently, and
that will only get worse over time. Repetitive code is bad.

Mostly, that was designed for this.

Yet I have not yet decided which is best:

  -- message passing interface (the current one in tmtable)

  -- procedural interface (like tmlength)

But anyhow I will handle the update work if I ever change my mind.
