Yes, indeed, but I suggest that you don't omit the call to `.evc' to
make the new environment identical to the previous one.
Below is a simpler solution which happens to be even more generic (and
which no longer needs tbl's `nokeep' keyword). It is also more
careful which environment to copy.

This is some more text that goes before the table.
I suppose I could have used a larger point size to
make it easier but I didn't think of that until now.
