The original idea of the function was to preserve the existing contents of the table and add new values to the end, hence the name tAppend(). Though it would be easy to wrap the table constructor in a function, there is nothing to gain from doing so. Any other possible ways to achieve the original design would risk a stack overflow and/or cause huge spikes in memory usage. No other method I could think of would only work on modifying the original table as intended.
