Re: Function to force table to shrink?

> For my example I should have added "now the workers see an empty table that they can keep putting work on"

But this sounds, as if the "workers" have to inquire this table state
very often and regularly.

In this case I would typically strongly prefer to present an "element
counter variable" for this table, although this adds a small overhead
for every key add and key delete (inc/dec this counter... also it
might then be better to hide / encapsulate the raw table in a sort of
class - so that access only possible by access functions).
