In which case, I probably owe you an apology.
Because:

which I wrote following my experiences with describing that
particular helper in TBB.  I think that, like it or not, the
introduction of this config file *has* effectively defined an
API for the table_container helper.  I'd need to look back
through the list archives to check whether I pointed this out
to you explicitly at the time or not.  Probably not :-(  Sorry.


Maybe my mistake was in regarding this as a (user-visible) helper
rather than an (internal) handler.   But whether that was the
original intention or not,  it's water under the bridge now.
This config has been available for some time now, and people may
well be using it.  We need to bear that in mind when deciding how
to move forward.
