preamble scanning is already quite tricky and there was already CR CM CL 
so adding CT was a few lines of extra code

(i will probably make a key/val based variant some day but that is no 
fun either ... 10 lines of setup per table instead of a one line preeamble)

(and i'm forbidden to fundamentally change an important mechanism like 
tabulate right now as for sure it will break some things)
