This isn't supported, but it almost works.  The only problem is that 
macro expansion inserts a "fill-slot" whether the slot was filled or 
not.  If you don't expand macros, or carefully delete the 
metal:define-slot="body" every time you edit, you can fill the table 
slot (at least in the latest 2.5 code).
