Right; I generalized incorrectly. It's table.insert(t,n,v), not t[n]=v,
that has the problem.

Perhaps the three-parameter form table.insert(t,n,v) should restrict n
to be an integer in [1, #t + 1]. If it is not and integer or not in that
range then a normal lua_settable() would be used (or something else
would happen - error?). The code in tinsert() is simple enough to be
modified in a number of useful ways.
