Don't think of it as incompatibility. You're counting on an undefined
behaviour.
The length of an table containing nils in its indexed part is ambiguous. I'm

as key/value pairs rather than values at an index. If you need an indexed table
with omissions, you'll need to use 'false' for those omissions.
