Why put addresses in tables? One of my macros generates a table for glb- and lub-seeking binary-search operations. The lexicographic subscript of a bounding element is often of less interest than its entry sequence or another, arbitrary code value. This macro therefore optionally generates another table containing such values, making it accessible by providing its address.
Or again, tabular-function tables are often compound ones containing two atomic tables, one of arguments and another of values, the addresses of both of which are stored in a stub. In general, there are many reasons for wishing to include addresses in generated tables, which can be and often are very much more complex in detail than hand-coded ones.
