Well, there's no rush since there are ways to work around it. I just 
thought it would be a nice feature.

These tables could possibly be used to speedup integer multiplication 
with small constants that happens to match some array dimension/element 
size too, right?

This is getting more and more off topic, but basic stores its integers 
in big endian style. How much work  would it be to support another slang 
integer type (tni?) that would behave just like the normal int but is 
stored big endian? This would make value passing between basic and slang 
almost trivial.
