Consider adding the built-in table methods to tablex? about penlight

[alerque]

In my opinion, your are welcome to do this to your downstream projects but implementing it for everybody here upstream would just make a mess for us, especially when it came to documentation, and additionally for anybody that uses the functions and even wants to lookup docs, use fancy IDE features, refactor their code, etc.

Might I suggest you do the opposite? At the top of your app alias the Penlight functions you need for that app into your table namespace:

table.deepcopy = pl.tablex.deepcopy
table.foreachi = pl.tablex.foreachi

Even that I think makes it harder to read the code, but it has some advantages to the other way around.

Thank you for sharing, much appreciated. I kind of threw this out there to solicit some input from more experienced programmers, and it worked, so again, thank you. I think your approach does make a bit more sense.
