Hi,
How do I merge two lua tables? I believe that table.merge or table.merged should do the trick, but I cannot figure out how to use them.
``` 
local t1 = { 1, 2 }
local t2 = { 8, 9 }
local m1 = {}
table.merge(m1,t1, t2)
table.print(m1)
local m2 = table.merged(t1, t2)
table.print(m2)
```
Processing the file with context filename shows that both m1 and m2 are {8, 9}. What am I missing.
Looking at the code, I see what is happening. table.merge(d) assume that the tables are key-value tables so the keys of the first table are silently overwritten by the send. I guess, I'll have to write my own function to merge "array" tables.
