{{Edit fully-protected|answered=yes}}

This request is to implement all the changes made to the sandbox until this time. The differences can be checked with [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Module%3ATableTools%2Fsandbox&diff=1220306247&oldid=1068321711 this diff link].

Notably, I added the <code>merge</code> and <code>extend</code> functions for arrays. Pretty sure such functions are standard in any language that has array-like objects. Therefore, I found it appropriate to make them available here since Scribunto apparently didn't port them from base Lua.

::@[[User:Alexiscoutinho|Alexiscoutinho]] I don't really see any benefit from throwing an error if <code>merge</code> only receives 1 argument; it's plausible that a module might want to merge an arbitrary number of arrays based on user input, and all this restriction does is push the check for 1 argument onto the calling module. It's the same reason you can call (e.g.) {{code|math.min()|lua}} or {{code|math.max()|lua}} with only 1 argument, despite that being pointless in many situations.

:::{{done}}. But I wonder if a check should exist to verify if the inputs form a sequence (i.e. not sparse table)... [[User:Alexiscoutinho|Alexis Coutinho]] ([[User talk:Alexiscoutinho|talk]]) <sup>&#91;''[[WP:PING|ping&nbsp;me]]''&#93;</sup> 07:09, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
