I have a small question regarding the Lua C API's "lua_next" function when
used on a certain subset of objects: tables that are made like arrays, with
sequential integer keys. Is the order of iteration guaranteed to go from '0'
to 'N' in this case, or am I still subject to jumping around in some
implementation-defined order of traversal?
Nothing is guaranteed, except that if you start from the initial value k=nil
then repeat k,v = next(tbl,k) until not k will visit every key.
