Re: Proposal to enhance table.remove

[Lars Müller <appgurulars@...>]

What if the count of values removed exceeds the stack (and thus the vararg) size? For example:

local t = {}
for i = 1, 1e8 do t[i] = i end
local t2 = {table.remove(t, 1, 1e7)}
assert(#t2 == 1e7)

would the return values be truncated? Would an error be thrown (probably preferable)?
