- Adds a element to the end of a sequence in a table.
- table

The add()
function adds an element to a sequence in a table.
If an index is not supplied, it is assumed to be #table+1
and the value is appended to the end of the table.
The add()
function returns the object being added. You can ignore this return value if you don't need it.
A stack can be easily emulated by using add(s,v)
to push and v=deli(s)
to pop.
