Yes, they're particularly useful for embedded devices.
I've often used tables in assembly language in this regard.

I don't think anybody has toyed with this yet.
With D, advanced table-generation will become much easier.
I bet I'm one of those people, who will have a lot of fun using this
feature. ;)
I'm watching your progress closely. I think we are ready to get D
properly on micro controllers and you are really testing, exploring it even.
I would be very surprised in the next year or so, if you don't make
atleast one breakthrough!
