Yes, except that nil values do not show up when traversing tables with pairs
or ipairs. So, build a table only if you need it. But perhaps you need
	a = { n=select( "#", ... ), ...}
if your code uses a.n.

Your test2 and test3 are fine. They will even work for trailing nils.
The key is to get the number with select( "#", ... ).
