Why not just call it a NUMBER table, since that's what it contains? Well, it's really integers, but INTEGER is a reserved word...

(Shameless plug for my own Number Table Function) 😀

You may find uses for the F_TABLE_NUMBER_RANGE function in situations where you need a lot of numbers, or you just want to have a custom sequence of numbers, like -3333 through 437,283. Or you can just use it to load your permanent number/tally table.
