Ok. I see your point. This will cause a backward-incompatible change,
although I think the advantages that will bring would largely compensate
that. In addition, I've had to rewrite some internals in PyTables that were
based on the former behaviour. But all has been done and committed to CVS.

That has been committed too.

You can also issue a bug in the PyTables project site:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=63486&atid=504144

Do what you want although during this stage of development I would prefer to
see the patches and bug reports on this list, so that I can discuss them
with you.

Thanks for your contribution!
