/* XXX
*
* I have two major concerns about this API as it is right now:
*
* - Jonathan Kew convinced me to make it return NULL if table not found (280af1bd),
* however, that is WRONG IMO. The API should not differentiate between a non-existing
* table vs a zero-length table vs a very short table. It only leads to implementations
* that check for non-NULL and assume that they've got a usable table going on... This
* actually happened with Firefox.
*
* - It has to be renamed to reference_table() since unlike any other _get_ API, a reference
* ownership transfer happens and the user is responsible to destroy the result.
