Ah, sorry, the threads I could find were incomplete, so I wasn't able
to find those comments that were made to Will's 2010 submission. In
some of the cleanups I did I was very confused about "target" vs
"table", and tried to fix that. Regardless, I'm open to fixing
whatever is needed. :)

Thanks for looking at this again!
