Do Lua tables have an "array" and a "hash" part?

["Soni L." <fakedme@...>]

Many people on this list say tables have an "array" and a "hash" part. 
I'd think a table has a "sequence" and "map" part instead. For example, 
a map doesn't necessarily have to be a hash map, you can implement maps 
with binary trees and/or tries instead, and a sequence doesn't 
necessarily have to be an array; a linked list is a sequence but not an 
array.
