Re: globals (_locals)

["Nick Trout" <nick@...>]

I take your point but it doesnt make the code any easier to read. I think:

do local t=table1.table2.table3
  local c = t.a+t.b
end

is clearer. Just an idea. Guess its not necessary. Cheers. So I think all we
need is the "global" keyword?

How about

do
 local g=globals(table1.table2.table3)
 local c = a+b
 globals(g)
end
