Just on a point of language in 3.4.6:
Surely
"The length of a table is defined to be any index such that .... "
is incorrect.
Should it not be
"The length of a table t is defined to be the least non-negative
integer n such that t[n+1] is nil and t[m] is non-nil for any
positive integer less than n+1."?
I know my phrasing is longer but as the manual stands in the case that
t[1] = nil, t[2] = 0, t[3] = nil
it would imply that #t = 2.
Or should the phrase
"moreover, if t[1] = nil, n can be zero"
really be
"moreover, if t[1] = nil, n must be zero"
?
