Re: table.el

    I agree that a change to read-from-minibuffer might introduce problems.
    That wouldn't bother me, but I won't try to push for it.
    Instead, we could simply provide a new function which provides the
    "standard" behavior and tell people that they should use that one
    instead of read-from-minibuffer.

This will tend to cause unnecessary user-code incompatibility.
Please leave it alone!
