Hmmm...  Those names do not make it easier for me to keep the
possibility-to-instanciate and the actual instanciation initialisations
apart I'm afraid.

As far as I can tell the functions I referred to are related to the first
(the contents of the table (mentioned it the second part) are used at actual
instanciation).

But .... as a newbie in this regard I could easily be wrong there. :-|
