Ah, but what I want is to delete a long stretch of a document without having to
perform a lengthy sequence of operations. And it's not just what "I want" -
it's what the typical user pressing Delete wants. And you cannot assume that
these users are supposed to, apriori, decide they want to allow arbitrary
changes to the table, just so that in some point in the future, a person who
may not even be them, would not have trouble deleting multiple tables/indices.

I believe that, UX-wise, you're adopting surpising and undesirable default
behavior due to a mis-reading and over-reading of user intent when not
unchecking a checkbox in the creation dialog.
