```python
from sqlite_utils.db import Table
def tbl(self, table_name: str) -> Table:
    tbl = self.db[table_name]
    if isinstance(tbl, Table):
        return tbl
    raise Exception(f""Missing {table_name=}"")
```

With respect to @chapmanjacobd concern on the `DEFAULT` being an empty class, have also been using `# type: ignore`, e.g.

```python
@classmethod
def insert_list(cls, areas: list[str]):
    return meta.tbl(meta.Areas).insert_all(
        ({""area"": a} for a in areas), ignore=True  # type: ignore
    )
