Re: 'table' as fallback for tables

If you are politely suggesting that the definition of __len be extended to include an integral number value as the literal value to be used, then I concur that this would be a convenient and clear extension. 

I like that.

You can give a table to __index and __newindex. For constant-sized
types, it makes sense to use a number instead of a number-returning
function for __len.
