If the purpose of this is to obtain a table which will return rows in Primay 
Key order without having to use an ORDER BY clause, you should be aware that 
this is NOT SAFE.  While R:Base will USUALLY return the rows in the order you 
want, it doesn't PROMISE to, and this behavior could change at any point in the 
future without notice.  Additionally, there are times even now when R:Base will 
return data in a different order -- for instance, when the request can be 
satisfied entirely from an existing index (index only retrieval).
