Sparse numeric arrays in lua 5

[Daniel Silverstone <dsilvers@...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to implement a sparse numeric array in lua 5.

however given:

f = { 1, nil, 10 }

in lua 4, foreachi(f,print) will give:
1	1
2	nil
3	10

in lua 5, table.foreachi(f,print) gives:
1	1

(I.E. it stops at the nil)

Is there a known way to get around this?

D.
