I don't think this is a good idea. We shouldn't unnecessarily allocate
8KB on the stack. Is there any actual evidence this is a performance
benefit? To me this just seems like it'll reduce the flexibility of the
API, without any benefit. I'll also note that you've apparently not
updated tableam.h to document this new restriction.
