If "some arbitrary N" means "the current size of the array part", N will
in current implementation (ltable.c) always be a power of 2 such that
at least half the slots are in use. In other words, up to half the slots
may be nil. You can only conclude it is not a sequence if an entry is nil
but some later entry is not.
