[texhax] make minipage table in figure appear in lot?

[Bryan W. Lepore]

i have a minipage table inside a figure environment.  the _figure_ appears 
in the list of figures (since \caption[this is a figure]{} is used). 
it'd be nice to have it appear in the list of tables also.

is there a way to do that without revamping the table-inside-a-figure to a 
figure-inside-a-table?
