That reminded me of a dictionary type I once wrote for Lua (to manage
dynamic ordered sets of records.)  I admit that I never had much use for it,
so it might just fall in the category of

http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2003-07/msg00156.html

but it is kind of neat anyway.  It is AVL based and 100% Lua.  And as
dictionary types go, it is not half bad, options wise.  So I put it up on my
site

and included some documentation.  Have fun!
