-This function replaces the default set of character tables, by the one supplied

-The *tables* parameter should be either a userdata, obtained from a call to
-maketables_, or ``nil``. In the latter case, the built-in PCRE set of tables

-Lrexlib maintains one "default" set of character tables, in addition to the set

-called with that argument omitted, then the default set of character tables is
-used.

-The initial default set of tables is the built-in PCRE set.
