Isn't it pretty much guaranteed you'd never want to do
|table.insert(t,n,nil)|?

I got into a bad habit of using it like this when appending objects;
if they were nil, it was a no-op.  Basically, a lazy shortcut using a
quirk of the language.

Are you using insert(t,v) or insert(t,n,v)?

If the latter, why not the former? Where is the n coming from in those cases?

Thanks,
Henning
