Module table

Tables, base and in memory.

Basically, a table consists of a list of dictionaries (the rows) and a table definition (resdef.TableDef).

You should, in general, not construct the tables directly but use the tables.TableForDef factory. The reason is that some classes ignore certain aspects of TableDefs (indices, uniqueForceness) or may not be what TableDef requires at all (onDisk). Arguably there should be different TableDefs for all these aspects, but then I'd have a plethora of TableDef elements, which I think is worse than a factory function.
