Ah, okay, thanks for correcting me. Talking about optimizations, wouldn't say adding sizeints optimize functions like ipairs (with maybe slight overhead on adding new elements, and a little bit more memory consumption). And adding something like sizekeys you could then easily check if sizeints == sizekeys -> "is array", making it an optimization for Konstantin's problem (with possibility for internal optimizations as well). Or maybe this isn't too common, and can be worked on a Lua side as well (say having metatable that collects just that).
