-- isPositiveInteger
--
-- This function returns true if the given value is a positive integer, and false

-- useful for determining whether a given table key is in the array part or the
-- hash part of a table.

--

-- not. Although it doesn't operate on tables, it is included here as it is useful
-- for determining whether a value can be a valid table key. Lua will generate an
-- error if a NaN is used as a table key.
