thanks victor, i wasn't aware of the new tab opcodes.

BTW, the manual page for tab says:

... Support non-power of two tables (can be generated by any GEN function by
giving a negative length value). 

i wasn't aware of that either, and i couldn't find that mentioned anywhere
else in the manual. 

if i may make a suggestion, perhaps it should be mentioned in the
f-statement page.

p3 -- Size of function table (i.e. number of points) Must be a power of 2,
or a power-of-2 plus 1 (see below). 

could be something like (translated into proper english, of course):
"Ordinarily a power of 2, or a power-of-2 plus 1 (see below), it can take
any arbitrary size by setting this parameter to a negative value, but in
this case the table can only be accessed by certain special opcodes, like
loscil and tab."

also the gen01 page could be updated, mentioning that non-power-of-two can
be used not only by loscil but also by the tab opcode.

best,
