I should reference these things better - Hisham already thought that
pack()/unpack() was symmetrical. And if someone of his experience
expects this, then yes, this is a issue.
True, suddenly the notation changes. Better to just allow that
metatable to control __len. Tables with method notation is another
discussion. But I hope we would agree that table.unpack(t) in this
case should do the correct thing.
