Yes, I would like to have it this way. And an new TSconfig for TCA could
be added to a table without 'pid', e.g.

It could be defined by this like as documented here
http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/references/doc_core_tsconfig/current/view/1/2/

TCAdefaults.table_without_pid {
  pid = 125
}

Then the table 'table_without_pid' would be shown in the page tree and
list module on page 125. There would be only a virtual TCA for the
column 'pid' without a real column 'pid' in the table.

If you agree I would open a feature request for it at
http://bugs.typo3.org and help with coding.


Greets,

Franz
