One thing I've noticed is that although one can create a sparse table 
using literal syntax:
local t = { 1, nil, 3 }

there doesn't seem to be a programmatic way of achieving the same thing. 
Would it be possible to add support for:
local t = { }
table.insert(t, 1)
table.insert(t, nil)
table.insert(t, 3)

and have it do the same thing?

Cheers,
Richard
