In this case, why even use table.insert, just have `t[#t+1] = v`

You could also just use

    local function append(t,v)

        return table.insert(t, v)

    end

==> now you'll never accidently pass 3 arguments to insert.

But now you've lost the speed advantage:

I recall table.insert was a tiny bit faster than doing it in lua, according to some benchmarks waqas did.
