# A table is a stream of (key, value) rows.
#
# Each row consists of an 8-byte key -- a (handle array byte) -- and a variable-size value.
#
# Accessing the table performs a linear scan for a key string, and always
# requires passing in the row size.
#
# Table primitives have the form <variant>(stream, <arg>, row-size, ...) -> address/eax
#
# The following table shows available options for <variant>:
#   if not found:           | arg=string              arg=slice
#   ------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
#   abort                   | get                     get-slice
#   insert key              | get-or-insert           get-or-insert-slice
#                           | get-or-insert-handle
#   stop                    | get-or-stop             get-slice-or-stop
#   return null             | maybe-get               maybe-get-slice
