The doc is wrong, but not because of this thinking (given that it is not
being deprecated any more). The problem is that, with the possibility
of tables to redefine '#', the implementation was wrong, and a correct
implementation was somewhat expensive (checking against '#' in every
iteration).

Anyway, ipairs is back with its 5.1 semtantics.
