Well, about 2 years ago I posted a patch for Lua 5.3.5 that exposed a
function that can reserve memory for the array and hash part of a table. [1]

Thank you! that is exactly what I was looking for.
The only improvement I can think of, is to create what I want since the beginning rather than reserving/resizing after creation.
Can Lua team add table.create(narray,nash) to the table library in Lua 5.4? Does this make sense?
Thank you very much
