I have remarked an unexpected behaviour (to me) of the lua loadfile
function. It returns a function, but it seems this function does not
herit the global table from the caller of the loadfile function. Is it
on purpose ? Which global table is assigned to it ?
Currently, loadfile (and loadstring) always returns a function with the
default global table (that is, the one used by the C functions). It
is very easy to change it before running the chunk, so that all functions
created by the chunck already get the new table:
local f = loadfile"..."
setglobals(f, t)
f()
But we can change that.
