new_table = Table({0: 2}) + Table({1: 2, 2: 3})
new_table.minimum_size = 3

print(new_table) # {0: 2, 1: 2, 2: 3}
print(new_table.find_index(2)) # (0, 1)

try:
    print(new_table - Table({2: 3}))
except KeyError: # Minimum size has been reached
    new_table.minimum_size = 2
    print(new_table - Table({2: 3})) # {0: 2, 1: 2}

new_table.read_only_indices = {0}
new_table[1] = 0

try:
    new_table[0] = False
except KeyError: # Index 0 is read-only
    new_table.read_only_indices.remove(0)
    new_table[0] = True

print(new_table) # {0: True, 1: 0, 2: 3}
