'second' is not a copy. The variables 'table' and 'second' are both
refering to the same table. Which you can see:

  a = {}
  b = a
  c = b
  print(a,b,c)

Yes, that is exactly equivalent to:

  table.test = function() print("Mooh !") end

Which is exactly equivalent to:

  table["test"] = function() print("Mooh !") end
