[texhax] controlling table locations

[Lars Madsen]

In taht case wouldn't 

at least ht

be a better default, than just h

Then you do not get those pesky 'changed [h] into [ht]' messages.

I usually set it to

htp

You can set a default value and omit the optional argument:

   \makeatletter
     \def\fps at table{h}
