You're right, Nick. I would consider any non-empty table with only
contiguous numeric keys starting at 1 to be array, i.e. the very basic
case. Everything else can be considered to be a table/object.

Actually, I'm interested in finding this in C code rather than in Lua
code. Perhaps some Lua internal data-structure might be of use here,
in case there's some optimization for such a case.
