--[[=============================
This Module was written by Alexander Zhikun He, also known as, User:Codehydro on the English Wikipedia
All methods were developed independently and any resemblance to other string buffer libraries would be coincidental.
Furthermore, many methods will not work when compiled by standard Lua libraries as they depend on behaviors unique to
the MediaMiki Scribunto mod, which, for example, has a getmetatable() method that always returns nil on non-tables.

local function Valid(v)--type validation

local str = tostring(v)--functions not filtered since unlikely passed by accident (Scribunto does not have userdata/thread types)
if str~=v and str=='table' then return rawget(v, 1) and table.concat(v) end--tostring(string-type) returns same ref; same refs compare faster than type()
if str~='' then return str end--numbers are coerced to string per table.concat op; appending in string form saves ops on repeat concat
end

function pOther(t, k) k = (oMap[t] or MBpairs(t, true) and oMap[t])[nil==k and 1 or vMap[t][k]] return k, t[k] end--comparison to nil because false is a valid key
function pFast(t, k) k = not k and 1 or k < (vMap[t] or #t) and k + 1 or nil return k, t[k] end--mapless iterator; almost as fast as native ipairs; slight performance penalty when length not cached
