I went to the bottom of the thread, and the original proposal, which
is still reflected in the subject line, was to allow nils as table
values, while making creating large arrays faster was a nicety we
would just get along the way.

Now it seems the nils as table values are not really under discussion,
and the discussion is about a syntax to specify array/table sizes at
the table creation time.

Has anyone ever bothered to check how much speedup one might hope to
get with this?

Cheers,
