Sure. In all likelihood, initially, the table will just contain a single row
and that'll be it. mbk's approach defined a "metadata" table; again, with
just a single value in it.

*shrug* Any approach is really going to be about storing a single value,
and we're only guessing about future uses. I just liked my forward vision
more than mbk's ;-)
