--[=[ Thoughts on displaying tables in an intuitive way.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Lua's table datastructure is likely to be the most consise data structure ever
|
||||||
|
invented. (If not, please send me a link!) Lists, maps, objects, classes,
|
||||||
|
proxies, etc. This obviously brings about it some difficulty when attempting to
|
||||||
|
represent these tables. What do we want to highlight, and what do we choose to
|
||||||
|
avoid?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
One notable issue is whether to show every key that a table answers to, or to
|
||||||
|
just display those it contains. That is, do we think about `__index` and what it
|
||||||
|
returns, or do we ignore `__index`? For cases where `__index` is a function,
|
||||||
|
we cannot say anything about the keys that the table answers to. If `__index` is
|
||||||
|
a table, we have a better idea, but then the output would be cluttered.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Native representation: Lua's native representation includes the type and
|
||||||
|
address of the table. It allows for distinguishing between unique tables,
|
||||||
|
but won't tell about the contents.
|
||||||
|
2. It continues: By representing tables as the pseudo-parsable `{...}`, it's
|
||||||
|
clear we are talking about a table. We disregard the ability to
|
||||||
|
distinguish between tables.
|
||||||
|
3. Special case for 2. If the table is empty, we could represent it as `{}`.
|
||||||
|
But what if the table has a metatable with `__index` defined? We could
|
||||||
|
continue to represent it as `{}`, but `{...}` would be more "honest".
|
||||||

4. Single-line: TODO
|
||||||
|
5. Multi-line: TODO
|
||||||
|
6. ls style: TODO
|
||||||
|
7. Tabular: TODO
|
||||||
|
8. Special cases: (Array-tree, Table-Tree, Linked-List) TODO
