I agree that a dummy AM would be good, but implementing even a dummy AM
is a fair amount of work. Also, there are many potential variations, so
we'd probably need several.

The table AM API is a work in progress, and I think it will be a few
releases (and require a few more table AMs in the wild) to really nail
down the API.
