-- table.copy( array, ... ) returns a shallow copy of array. 
-- A variable number of additional arrays can be passed in as 
-- optional arguments. If an array has a hole (a nil entry), 
-- copying in a given source array stops at the last consecutive
-- item prior to the hole.
-- 
-- Note: In Lua, the function table.concat() is equivalent 
-- to JavaScript's array.join(). Hence, the following function
-- is called copy().
table.copy = function( t, ... )
