Actually, in LuaJIT there isn't a performance penalty for zero-based
'arrays'.  So you can write {[0]=1,2,3,4} and that will be full-speed.
However, the standard libraries assume 1..n arrays and would require
extensive patching.  LuaJIT is definitely a case where confusion can
and does happen, because cdata is ... yep, zero-indexed.
