When an object is too big to fit in the rest of the page, cl-typesetting
goes to the next page. If it can't fit the object in the new page it should
signal an error "could not fit anything". I will look at this. My emptiness
test is probably not good enough.

The easy work around is to make one separate table for each line. It's a
poor substitute but at least it works.
