This is being worked on http://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaInspect , with
formal announcement probably in a week.  There have been a number of
recent efforts like this for various editors/IDEs of incorporating a
full parser with more intelligent analysis rather than just a lexer.
See http://lua-users.org/wiki/ProgramAnalysis .  I agree with Florian
(and similar comment has been made by Steve) that this does have the
potential to affect the usage of Lua, including the globals debate.
