The shell is a great tool for experimenting with DAL. Including on 
existing solutions! But as far as I know in order to access a table we 
must call db.define_table(...). This makes in cumbersome to use the 
shell with existing solutions, especially when where are just testing 
ideas for an existing solution.

For this purpose I think a load_table or a load_tables method would be 
great. This would just load the existing definition in the db connection 
object, avoiding all the problem of re-typing the entire table 
definition and unwanted changes to the current definitions that might 
become from typing a wrong or incomplete definition at the prompt!
