describes a tbl problem involving "T{ ".

I suggest looking at Henry McGilton & Mary McNabb's book,
`Typesetting Tables', even if you have used tbl before.
Many problems with tbl are mentioned, as well as some good examples.

Also, note that lex has similar problems with "%{ " -- maybe Mike Lesk
used some common code?
