it's a generic for loop: iterates through all objects in table 't' using 'next' as its iterator function

Use either, no real difference (pairs returns next so in the end, they both use next)

for _,obj in pairs(t) do is pretty much the same as for _,obj in next, t do

cnt is an idiot, in next is theoretically 1 / 160000 more effecient
