Yes, but someTable.wrap(width, height) calls someTable._calc()
and calc paid no attention to the container size at all.

I see nothing wrong with that at all, I just wondered if
we had some deep reason way back to make tables have
a known size irrespective of the container.  I can't see
why.  Most other stuff has a container dependency...
