Tables, Metatables, Children, and Length

[Marc Lepage <mlepage@...>]

Hi, I have a table which has a metatable. I want to add children (other tables) to the metatable, not to the table directly.

If I do so, I can get at them by t[1], t[2], t[3] and so on.

But I can't do this:

for i = 1, #t do

    local child = t[i]

end

Because #t still returns 0.

Comments and feedback welcome.
