Where does this acronym "TAM" comes from for "table access method"?  I
find it thoroughly horrible and wish we didn't use it.  What's wrong
with using "table AM"?  It's not that much longer, much clearer and
reuses our well-established acronym AM.

We don't use IAM anywhere, for example (it's always "index AM"), and I
don't think we'd turn "sequence AM" into SAM either, would we?
