Thanks in advance,

	Subject:	Global access control

	Is there any news as to what (if any) strategy might be adopted 
	officailly by Lua to control access to globals?  Having the
option of 
	requiring global access declarations would make Lua much more
robust.

	I've already written something like 

	$noglobals
	z=10
	q=45
	g=54

	function example(x)
	local w,y
	global z,q
	   w=x*x
	   print(w+x+q)
	   print(g)  -- error
	end

	In standard mode lua just ignores the global list, so this code
works in 
	either mode ($globals or $noglobals).
