The main point was that "secondary" doesn't say anything about what the
variable is used for (unlike for example "secondary_tbls") and that
keeping a "_tbl" suffix on every member in a structure that holds only
tables is redundant.

That could be
cfg.tbls_extra.serdes;
too or whatever. The key point was to have a descriptive name of the
tables-structure variable and dropping "_tbl" from the individual
members.
