In std/search.e, we have two functions for looking up items in a "table:" lookup() and vlookup().

Is anybody aware of any other functions for manipulating tables like this? I'm looking for functions like new, add, delete/remove, rename, etc...

Why have lookup and vlookup without the functionality to create the table in the first place? I know it's simple, but not when you have nested items hundreds of levels deep.

Is the data actually sitting in nested sequences "hundreds of levels deep" or is it more like a 2-d table where there are hundreds of semantic levels?
