Except, don't assume O(n log n). For 'sequences' (i = 1..n) tables are
very fast, and once LuaJIT has finished looking at an inner loop, then
the 'hash' lookup obj.field is compiled pretty much as a C compiler
would.
As for the concern about LuaJIT being a one-man effort: so were
Beethoven's symphonies ;)
