Maybe even stronger: the table library should only be applied to lists,
which do not have holes and in which the position of a given element
is not invariant.

And from that proposition follows a suggestion:
    In the documentation for table.concat, table.insert, table.remove
and table.sort, replace the parameter name 'table' by the name 'list',
as is already the case for table.unpack.  The documentation is clearer
and shorter by four characters!
