Currently we have tc$node_table_add_row() etc. because tc is a TableCollection class with xptr element in it. As such, this resembles C code (so our current implementation looks like a hybrid between C & Python!), while Python code is looks like tc.nodes.add_row() since each table has its own class and associated Python methods. We could mirror such a structure by adding NodeTable, EdgeTable, ... elements to TableCollection, which would be pointers to the tables within the xptr!?
Or we just clearly state that our method/function calls resemble C functions!?
