Table Module

Remove all key-value pairs in a table and return the modified table `tab`.

Create a copy of a table. Updates to the new table will not change the old table, and vice versa.

Get the prototype table of a table. Returns nil if the table has no prototype, otherwise returns the prototype.

Creates a new empty table with pre-allocated memory for `capacity` entries. This means that if one knows the number of entries going into a table on creation, extra memory allocation can be avoided. Returns the new table.

Create a new table that is the result of merging all prototypes into a new table.

Gets a value from a table `tab` without looking at the prototype table. If `tab` does not contain the key directly, the function will return nil without checking the prototype. Returns the value in the table.

Set the prototype of a table. Returns the original table `tab`.

Convert a table to a struct. Returns a new struct. This function does not take into account prototype tables.
