If _y were the only place this were an issue, I'd agree with you --
a Ref (perhaps even a WeakRef) might be better. But it's not -- and
I can gain other efficiencies once I go through the development time
again. (The table rendering code is a mess. The only reason it's
still a mess is that the major refactoring broke it worse.)
