 ** and 'maxinteger' if t[maxinteger] is present.)
-** First, try the array part: if there is an array part and its last
-** element is absent, there must be a boundary there; a binary search
-** finds that boundary. Otherwise, if the hash part is empty or does not
-** contain 'j + 1', 'j' is a boundary. Otherwize, call 'hash_search'
-** to find a boundary in the hash part.
+** (In the next explanation, we use Lua indices, that is, with base 1.
+** The code itself uses base 0 when indexing the array part of the table.)
+** The code starts with 'limit', a position in the array part that may
+** be a boundary.
+** (1) If 't[limit]' is empty, there must be a boundary before it.
+** As a common case (e.g., after 't[#t]=nil'), check whether 'hint-1'
+** is present. If so, it is a boundary. Otherwise, do a binary search
+** between 0 and limit to find a boundary. In both cases, try to
+** use this boundary as the new 'limit', as a hint for the next call.
+** (2) If 't[limit]' is not empty and the array has more elements
+** after 'limit', try to find a boundary there. Again, try first
+** the special case (which should be quite frequent) where 'limit+1'
+** is empty, so that 'limit' is a boundary. Otherwise, check the
+** last element of the array part (set it as a new limit). If it is empty,
+** there must be a boundary between the old limit (present) and the new
+** limit (absent), which is found with a binary search. (This boundary
+** always can be a new limit.)
+** (3) The last case is when there are no elements in the array part
+** (limit == 0) or its last element (the new limit) is present.
+** In this case, must check the hash part. If there is no hash part,
+** the boundary is 0. Otherwise, if 'limit+1' is absent, 'limit' is
+** a boundary. Finally, if 'limit+1' is present, call 'hash_search'
+** to find a boundary in the hash part of the table. (In those
+** cases, the boundary is not inside the array part, and therefore
