lua_newtable() definition:
#define lua_newtable(L) lua_createtable(L, 0, 0)
This simply allocates space for 0 fields, meaning, if we push any
values into this array, it will re-allocate the array, which is bad.
This function statically allocates an array, so it's ready to have
X fields into it.

narr: This is for fields that just have an index, e.g. arr[0] etc.
nrec: For fields which needs like arr.a, arr.b etc.
This is how many times each of the functions can run per second, as
you can see about 1.7x the calls to lua_newtable.
All credits goes to @dalkon, he was too lazy to do it by himself, and
asked me to do it for him.
