The "system table" hiding to try not to mix your tables with tables
that you didn't create. As there are no name spaces, prefixes or other
way to know if it is a table used internally in the standard libraries
or not, there is a static list of table names in "tv_main.hrl" that is
used. This list isn't perfect and "queue" happen to be in the list.

The solution to list the names statically is a "hack". If a list of
names is to be maintained, maybe tv itself should have an ets table
with these names to hide, so that you can both view and edit this
list,
