Reading the lua docs and wiki it seems that pairs() returns a closure, 
table, and key. The closure is the next iterator.

Now here I'm directly calling the function next(table, key), instead of 
the returned closure from pairs(). Probably I'm not doing something 
legal (metatables? metatable iterators (lua 5.2)?)

Check it again, I can't be sure.

Cheers!
