All,

I am/have been using ResultsTables to pass general, array strructurable data
form one plugin to the next. For example, one plugin  might detect objects,
the next extract object features, and a third run a pattern classifier on
those feaures. Right now, the only way to do this is to write the
ResultsTables  to a text file using a ResultsTable.save(..) and then reading
them back in using ResultsTable.open(..) . This works, but having multiple
open the results table objects would really be nice.
