        // doesn't report any key/value pair whose value is nil, we allow a
        // table with integer keys >= 1 but with "holes." This produces an
        // LLSD array with isUndefined() entries at unspecified keys. There
        // would be no other way for a Lua caller to construct an
        // isUndefined() LLSD array entry. However, to guard against crazy int
        // keys, we forbid gaps larger than a certain size: crazy int keys
        // could result in a crazy large contiguous LLSD array.
        //
        // Possible looseness could include:
        // - A mix of integer and string keys could produce an LLSD map in
        //   which the integer keys are converted to string. (Key conversion
        //   must be performed in C++, not Lua, to avoid confusing
        //   lua_next().)
        // - However, since in Lua t[0] and t["0"] are distinct table entries,
        //   do not consider converting numeric string keys to int to return
        //   an LLSD array.
        // But until we get more experience with actual Lua scripts in
        // practice, let's say that any deviation is a Lua coding error.
        // An important property of the strict definition above is that most
        // conforming data blobs can make a round trip across the language
        // boundary and still compare equal. A non-conforming data blob would
        // lose that property.
        // Known exceptions to round trip identity:
        // - Empty LLSD map and empty LLSD array convert to empty Lua table.
        //   But empty Lua table converts to isUndefined() LLSD object.
        // - LLSD::Real with integer value returns as LLSD::Integer.
        // - LLSD::UUID, LLSD::Date and LLSD::URI all convert to Lua string,
        //   and so return as LLSD::String.
        // - Lua does not store any table key whose value is nil. An LLSD
        //   array with isUndefined() entries produces a Lua table with
        //   "holes" in the int key sequence; this converts back to an LLSD
        //   array containing corresponding isUndefined() entries -- except
        //   when one or more of the final entries isUndefined(). These are
        //   simply dropped, producing a shorter LLSD array than the original.
        // - For the same reason, any keys in an LLSD map whose value
        //   isUndefined() are simply discarded in the converted Lua table.
        //   This converts back to an LLSD map lacking those keys.
        // - If it's important to preserve the original length of an LLSD
        //   array whose final entries are undefined, or the full set of keys
        //   for an LLSD map some of whose values are undefined, store an
        //   LLSD::emptyArray() or emptyMap() instead. These will be
        //   represented in Lua as empty table, which should convert back to
        //   undefined LLSD. Naturally, though, those won't survive a second
        //   round trip.

        // This is the most important of the luaL_checkstack() calls because a
