Greg did the right thing -- binary tables were obsoleted by the hash implemenation, and they need to be removed now so that they don't become yet another feature bloat that people insist on having around forever for backwards compatibility.
Assuming that the table is ordered is forbidden by the table API and has been since Robert Thau created it, explicitly because the intention was to replace the implementation with a table. If you want an ordered table, then use the array types directly. Now is the time to weed out what isn't being used. ....Roy
