HomeSYNOPSIS
dst = table.combine(src[, src[, ...]])
DESCRIPTION
Combines the contents of all src tables into one table.
The operation proceeds through the arguments from left to right, later keys overwriting earlier keys of
the same value.
Nested tables are combined recursively with deep copy. The resulting table will have
no references to any source tables.
table.duplicate() is an alias for table.combine() since SDK 1.6.16. It makes code more readable when this function is used to deep-copy a single table.
EXAMPLE
>

>
>
a = { x = 5 }
b = { y = 7 }
c = table.combine(a, b)
for k,v in pairs(c) do print(k,v) end
y 7
x 5
NOTES
If you want to do dst = table.combine(dst, src), you might want to prefer table.merge which does this more efficiently.
To get a deep copy of a table, simply use table.combine() with a single argument.
