That is probably the fastest way of "resetting" the table, the memory for
the old table will be reclaimed during the next internal garbage
collection pass. If you just want to "delete" the space then setting the
value to &null (e.g. B := &null) is another method, again the underlying
space will be reclaimed during the next garbage collection.
