I want to retrieve a table which grows dynamically. Thus, the table starts
empty (there are no entries). It is similar to the ipAdEntAddr table in that
it is indexed by a physical address (an ethernet address) rather than by a
small integer.

In retrieving this table, since there is no a priori way of knowing the name
of any variable in the table, it looks like I have no start and no end markers
for it other than the lexically preceding and following variables. This leads
to the following approach to retrieving this table.

1) Create the object-id for a a variable which must precede any which will have
   real addresses (e.g. use address 0-0-0-0-0-0). Save this object-id.
2) Do a get-next on this one to get the first real one. Compare enough of the
   returned object-id to the saved one to be sure that the got-next vble was
   a table member. If not, goto (4).
3) Use this variable for whatever, then go back to (2) to get the next table
   member.
4) Go make a cup of coffee.


I wanted to enquire whether this was the standard way to do this or if there is
a better way.
