Syntax question

[Florian Berger <fberger@...>]

Hi.

I have a (stupid) question to which I could not find answer in Lua 
mailing list or in Lua 5 reference manual. Why first parenthesis after 
function must be in the same line with function name?

Examples:
print(1)  -- Ok

print(    -- Ok
2
)

print   (   -- Ok
3
)

print   -- Not Ok
(
4
)

Seems to me that only function parenthesis must be in the same line with 
function name. Following examples are ok:
a

=

55

print(a)


for
i
=
1
,
5
do
print(
i
)
end

a
=
{
5
}

print(a[1])
