Ah, but it's easy enough to do in pure Lua, providing you have a
special table constructor function T and use it liberally. Make the
metatable.__index = table and metatable.__concat = table.concat, which
is a fairly straightforward function for _lists_.

For the hash part, I'd guess it would work like union. But in the case
of duplicate keys, which table's value wins?
