: {{ping|Ans}} What is the usecase for this function? [[User:Pppery|&#123;&#123;3x&#124;p&#125;&#125;ery]] ([[User talk:Pppery|talk]])  15:08, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
:: I plan to use in function p.call() in [[Module:LuaCall]] --[[User:Ans|Ans]] ([[User talk:Ans|talk]]) 10:40, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
::: Those are both so simple you could just do it inline. Also, I really hope you're not planning on actually using [[Module:LuaCall]] somewhere outside of maybe your user space, per [[Module talk:LuaCall#I sincerely hope that no one ever actually uses this]].

*{{notdone}} per above. — [[User:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#FF9933; font-weight:bold; font-family:monotype;">xaosflux</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#009933;">Talk</span>]]</sup> 15:00, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
::: It is not so simple, as the user need to understand the mechanism of ipairs() and iterator to do it inline.  The proposed function could help users who want to iterate like this, but don't know how to do it inline.  Moreover, using ipairsAt() instead of inline will improve code readability.  It does not just help developers write code, but also help beginners to understand what the code do when reading the code that use this function rather than inline code.
::: [[Module:LuaCall]] could be used to help write debugging code instantaneously in template.

:If after some period (ex. 7 days), no one has responsed or objected to my last reasons, does it be considered to be uncontroversial? --[[User:Ans|Ans]] ([[User talk:Ans|talk]]) 04:40, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
