All the trouble people have with the table length function and
the table library, well over 100 posts by now, come down to one

The functions designed for use on tables without holes
don't actually give an error message when applied to
tables with holes.
Now it is very Lua-like to treat a programmer as a responsible
adult, but perhaps just a tiny bit of supervision may be useful.

Then they will forget to check for virginity and complain very loudly on this list why the table is not a virgin. Ha ha ha. :-) :-) Beginning to sound like a Richard Branson gimmick. :-p
Nay, people need to put in the hours to get the experience. No such thing as an expert who didn't invest in the time and effort.
Put it another way: How much nanny supervision do we need before we make everyone happy? Impossible to please everyone these days... the other side has to do some leg work too.
