And again another # pitfall. This might or might not return true for
tables with holes!

I wonder how many more bugs will be out there due to people expecting
# to be in this or that way, other than the random indix when called
upon a table with hole.

Personally I too consider for a language that presents itself as easy
and the code looking tidy, the # notion an unfortunate stumbling block
I'm sure many more people will get their nose bloody.

Please correct me if I'm wrong:

* if table has no holes # works

* if table has holes you don't know what # will return (it might return proper length or lenght of the first 'block' up till the first hole)

Do I understand this properly?
