But if I want this, I know what to do - use the placeholder pattern
and define a unique value 'null'. For arrays of objects, `false` is a
convenient placeholder because of its falsiness. When interoperating
with JSON this issue arises, and such packages usually define
'json.null' for this purpose. I frankly don't see the problem. By
analogy with wave/particle theory, the 'classical' limits of a Lua
table are hashmaps and arrays. We know the actual beast is more than
that.
