table.flatten() might cause problems with name collisions as some
values inside 'deeper' tables might have the same keys etc. but isn't
there an append function? What does that table concat do? If that's
for generic(non vectorlike) tables then vector version(like iconcat)
might make sense and I doubt it would be hard to implement it.
