I have no problem with making the code more streamlined. The problem I
have is that the function's name doesn't suggest it would get you
anything but the entry from the specified altp2m. So you could be
reading the code assuming you are dealing with an entry from that
specified table when in fact you are not. That is not an expected
behavior based on just the name of the function. This is going to make
reading the altp2m code that much harder in the future.
