Why do we have this restriction in Lua?  Shouldn't "function var(...)" just be sugar for "var =
function(...)"?

>>>> From Sol "DIFFERENCES TO LUA 4.0"
- In a function definition the name may be an arbitrary sequence of names separated by '.' or
':'.

      function a.b.c() ... end

  (Lua allows only _one_ '.' or ':'.)
