Well I guess I would rather see it outlawed completely.
My opinion is fair and impartial, because I did never use
upvalues with Lua 4.0 ;-)

Seriously, I think removing the old upvalue syntax cleans
the accepted language little, and the current state might
cause porting problems. I would rather get syntax error,
instead of slight behaviour change.
