This snippet prints all key-value pairs in a Lua table, making it easy to inspect the table's contents during debugging.

Lua 
function printtable(t) for k, v in pairs(t) do print(tostring(k) .. ": " .. tostring(v)) end
end

@gregorytrujillo @gregory_trujillo that snippet works great for flat tables, but have you run into issues with nested tables where it just prints "table: 0x..." instead of recursing?
