	TableConcat=function()
		local t,a,s='A','#',5
		local n=""
		for i=1,1000 do
			n=table.concat{"\symbol{circled",s,"}=",t,a,i}
		end
	end,

This code creates 1000 identical tables. Maybe defining it once at the
beginning of the function would be closer the way we normally use
table.concat- where table creation is a trivial part of building a
long string.
