CINE already exists sortof, it's called CREATE OR REPLACE. Although the
effect is obvious for functions, it seems to me that it would be cool
to make a CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE that simply does nothing if the table
already exists with the right format.
ISTM that most of the sitautions people are talking about here ivolving
recreating the table exactly as is directly afterwards.
