```
Dropping into k can be useful to see the representation.
Tab is

+`time`col1`col2!(times;(`col11`col12!1 3;`col11`col12!5 33);(`col11`col12!1 3;`col11`col12!5 33))
```
What’s interesting is that
```
exec col1 from tab
```
then produces
```
(`col11`col12!1 3;`col11`col12!5 33)
```
But pasting this into the repl gives back a table,
```
+`col11`col12!(1 5;3 33)
```
So it seems like there’s some automatic table conversion that’s not happening in exec, that does happen in other cases. Interesting! Not much of an answer, but might help to find one.
