Why does the syntax enforce numbered items before string items though? It
seems with the syntax you present above, there would be no confusion, even
when alternating numbered and string entries, for example:

a_table = { [1]   = "test number 1",
            ["1"] = "test string 1",
            [2]   = "test number 2",
            ["2"] = "test string 2" };
