About new table appending idiom

It help will help me reduce a lot of typing and typo error.
But I sometime use lua with other language like C# that count not from 1 but from 0. When create table that map with C# data with would be difficult with current idiom.
If idiom can be change for handle that case it would be great.

I think change to something like this would be better, handle more cases, more readable and distinguishable code. EX:

items #+= obj -- compile to: items[#items+1] = obj
items #= obj -- compile to: items[#items] = obj
items #-= obj -- compile to: items[#items-1] = obj

Thanks and regards!

Start by reviewing the existing table-appending idiom and how the issue's proposed operators would be parsed and compiled. Determine the intended behavior for zero-based and one-based indexing, then verify that the syntax remains readable and that the generated assignments work for each case.
