-When equal to the symbol `optimized', the table editor will be optimized to
-do the following:
-- Automatic overwrite mode in front of whitespace in table fields.
-  This makes the structure of the table stay in tact as long as the edited

-- Minimize the number of realigns.  Normally, the table is aligned each time
-  TAB or RET are pressed to move to another field.  With optimization this
