In that case, it's not too awful, but if the table has a meaningful
name, it become sort of cumbersome:
tableWithMeaningfulName[ #tableWithMeaningfulName + 1 ] = value
Another problem, apart from readability, is when copying and pasting:
AnothertableWithMeaningfulName[ #tableWithMeaningfulName + 1 ] = value
Oops! I changed the table name but forgot to change the name in the
brackets.
Maybe I should stick with table.insert, however the latest book
recommends against it.
