Thanks Steve,
Any Idea what the performance implications of having this hidden table will be. I imagine the memory overhead will be almost nothing because the hidden table contains all the memory and the real table is empty.
I think this solution will work fine for me. I will keep all values in this hidden table, as they can become indexed at any time, and then I will have an array that specifies which are indexed, which can change dynamically, and will control the notification firing in __newindex.
Any tips on how to do this cleanly would be appreciated, this is kinda tricky.
