Well, I see the code does honor __index. [It seems my complaining in
earlier threads paid off!] ... but I don't see that in the docs?
There's no mention of ipairs using raw/normal access in any of Lua's
5.1, 5.2, or 5.3 beta manuals.
I wouldn't really say that ipairs "relies" on __index, as it only
indirectly controls (ends) the iteration.
