Get a Magento table name or custom table name

So you want to get the table name that is declared in the xml and you are not in an upgrade/install script.

If you were in an upgrade/install script you could just use: 

$tbl = $this->getTable('catalog/product');

In any other page you can use:

$tbl = Mage::getSingleton('core/resource')->getTableName('catalog/product');

If this will return: catalog_product_entity

This works with any declaration that is set in the xml!
