But who's counting? :-)
Seriously though, my attatchment to the feature idea is not strong;
it would just be a convenience. We do have code where the performance
difference is meaningful, but that's *not* the majority of places
where we append items, so I suppose we'll have to live with the more
cumbersome syntax reallyLongName[ #reallyLongName + 1 ] = v where we
need the speed.
Roberto did mention that he was now favoring the t[ #t + 1 ] = v
syntax (in PIL 2.0, page 171), and that syntax is a little cumbersome
with long names. Perhaps table.insert() will be with use for a while
longer :-)
