Equivalents to the C bitwise operators would be really handy.

Overall, that seems like a fair tradeoff, given how incredibly useful
it is to be able to set tag methods for getglobal.
I have a quick question on Lua datatypes. What is the preferred method
for generating and using lists in Lua? Originally I thought that the
following could be used:
l = { 1, 2, 4, 5 }
However, it appears that Lua doesn't have a method for adding or
deleting data at an arbitrary position. For instance, how can you
add '3' to the table above between '1' and '2'? Along the same lines,
how can you delete the '4'? I've read through the manual to no
avail. Am I missing something?
Thanks,
