Review Comment:
   I have a doubt, Is there some base/abstract object that `Table` and 
`VectorShemaRoot` share?
   
   For example, this method could be helpful in both sides Tables and 
VectorSchemaRoot
   
   If by design this was created independently please let me know to consider 
that at the moment to read *.table package
