The reason why loscil behaves differently from other opcodes wrt
tables is that loscil is allowed to use non-power-of-two tables and
the others are not.  Similarly with a deferred table the only way to
determine its length is to load it (within the current code).  It
would be possible to force loading from within tablen, indeed a
trivial change, but I am not sure if that is correct.
  Actually I have never used loscil so I am largely ignorant of its
needs.  Making a fake loop point may be possible.
