Given the persistent confusion about arrays vs. tables, and the scope
for really nasty hard-to-find bugs if people get it wrong, it might be
worth considering a 'strict mode' option (by default off, of course)
that cause #, table.remove/insert etc to *fail* if you give them a table
that's not an array. By fail, I mean throw an error to cause you
application to stop.

I'd much rather have my application not work in an obvious way than to
not work in a non-obvious way...
