No, this is not what the safety mechanism is for. The safety mechanism is
intended to prevent making _changes_ to a generated table - because even though
it has internal content, we want it to be considered as a single entity; and it
gets re-rendered occasionally when we update, so we don't want to give the user
the idea that they should edit the ToC/index themselves. There is no problem
with deleting a generated table and we don't want to protect against that.

The way this restriction is applied simply hinders the use of selection,
deletion and overwrite mechanics.
