Is it safe to modify values while traversing a table with lua_next()?

[Carsten Fuchs <carsten.fuchs@...>]

Dear Lua list,

using Lua 5.1, when I loop over the key-value pairs in a table using lua_next(), it is 
safe to modify the values?
Especially if the new value is nil, in order to remove the key-value pair from the table?

http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#lua_next explicitly warns about modifying the 
keys, but says nothing about modifying the values.

Best regards,
Carsten
