Re: absence of a __hash metamethod

["Patrick Donnelly" <batrick.donnelly@...>]

I'm not saying this is the most efficient way, but here's something you can do:

> hold = {}
> somenewtable = {}
> hold[somenewtable] = true
> hold[tostring(somenewtable)] = somenewtable
> print(tostring(somenewtable))

> print(tostring(somenewtable))
table: 0x807b6a0

Notice tostring on a table produces a unique string identifier for
that table... You can use it as your "hash".
