Re: Why don't pairs() and ipairs() obey an __index metamethod?

[Mark Hamburg <mhamburg@...>]

This basically gets us back to the point that pairs should probably be
redefined to look for a __pairs metamethod.

This might make sense for ipairs as well though that case could also be
addressed by using an integer indexed get in place of the lua_rawgeti. For
efficiency, it might be necessary to introduce lua_geti.

For efficiency reasons, it seems less appealing to introduce a metamethod
for next.
