/*
** Implementation of tables (aka arrays, objects, or hash tables).
** Tables keep its elements in two parts: an array part and a hash part.
** Non-negative integer keys are all candidates to be kept in the array
** part. The actual size of the array is the largest 'n' such that
** more than half the slots between 1 and n are in use.
** Hash uses a mix of chained scatter table with Brent's variation.
** A main invariant of these tables is that, if an element is not
** in its main position (i.e. the 'original' position that its hash gives
** to it), then the colliding element is in its own main position.
** Hence even when the load factor reaches 100%, performance remains good.

** and 'maxinteger' if t[maxinteger] is present.)
** (In the next explanation, we use Lua indices, that is, with base 1.
** The code itself uses base 0 when indexing the array part of the table.)
** The code starts with 'limit = t->alimit', a position in the array
** part that may be a boundary.
**
** (1) If 't[limit]' is empty, there must be a boundary before it.
** As a common case (e.g., after 't[#t]=nil'), check whether 'limit-1'
** is present. If so, it is a boundary. Otherwise, do a binary search
** between 0 and limit to find a boundary. In both cases, try to
** use this boundary as the new 'alimit', as a hint for the next call.
**
** (2) If 't[limit]' is not empty and the array has more elements
** after 'limit', try to find a boundary there. Again, try first
** the special case (which should be quite frequent) where 'limit+1'
** is empty, so that 'limit' is a boundary. Otherwise, check the
** last element of the array part. If it is empty, there must be a
** boundary between the old limit (present) and the last element
** (absent), which is found with a binary search. (This boundary always
** can be a new limit.)
**
** (3) The last case is when there are no elements in the array part
** (limit == 0) or its last element (the new limit) is present.
** In this case, must check the hash part. If there is no hash part
** or 'limit+1' is absent, 'limit' is a boundary.  Otherwise, call
** 'hash_search' to find a boundary in the hash part of the table.
** (In those cases, the boundary is not inside the array part, and
** therefore cannot be used as a new limit.)
