Do you really consider that to be a drawback? How often do you find yourself wanting to iterate a datastructure without knowing whether it's an array or a hash?
They changed ipairs around a couple times. It's currently in.
Either way you should be using not-pairs. If you construct a table in a weird way you can end up with pairs going out-of-order. ipairs works fine, also "for i=1,#t" works fine.
