I don't particularly object, but it does seem a little ugly.  I guess
I'm more concerned that there are only 10.

I'm just suggesting that we set 25 or 50 slots aside and leave them
that way -- it's been done before, but as the table went through
multiple owners, the "leave them that way" part didn't happen; with
proper documentation, just reserving some of the existing space seems
like the simple, effective solution.
