sucks when you cant express yourself.
im looking for a better way to numerically, sequentially iterate through elements of tables then table.foreach when the table has a) non-numerical keys and/or b) non-sequential keys

You have: getn, foreach and foreachi.
But your original question (before the edit) gave me a nice idea for a new tutorial excercise

Lua 5.0 was released on 11 Apr 2003. The main new features in Lua 5.0 are colaborative multithreading via Lua coroutines, full lexical scoping instead of upvalues, and metatables instead of tags and tag methods. Lua 5.0 also introduces booleans, proper tail calls, and weak tables. Other features are better support for packages, new API for loading Lua chunks, new error handling protocol, better error messages, and much more. Lua 5.0 is the first version to be released under the new license.
apart from booleans none of this should affect "basic" code.

API got changed and is incompatible to the current serverside code.
Lots of functions got changed too, as namespaces were introduced which prevents current scripts from working with the new version.
There is no decision yet if/when the LUA version DS uses will be upgraded.
