Shallow Clone

original["a"] = "original a"
original["b"] = "original b"
original["c"] = SharedTable.new()
original["c"]["d"] = "original d"
local clone = SharedTable.clone(original, false)
clone["a"] = "new a"
clone["b"] = "new b"
clone["c"]["d"] = "new d"
assert(original["a"] == "original a")
assert(original["b"] == "original b")
-- Because this was a shallow clone, original["c"] and clone["c"] are
-- the same SharedTable object.
assert(original["c"] == clone["c"])
assert(original["c"]["d"] == "new d")Deep Clone
local original = SharedTable.new()
original["a"] = "original a"

clone["b"] = "new b"
clone["c"]["d"] = "new d"
assert(original["a"] == "original a")
assert(original["b"] == "original b")
-- Because this was a deep clone, clone["c"] is a clone of original["c"];
-- they are distinct SharedTable objects.

Increment

local oldValue = SharedTable.increment(st, "x", 1)
assert(oldValue == 1)
assert(st["x"] == 2)
-- The value of the specified key must be a number. If it is not a
-- number, the call will fail:
