Re: Modifying _G metatable

[Don Williamson <don@...>]

Hi Diego,

thanks for the feedback. I think I'll stick with the current solution as 
upvalues require duplication of the symbol table in LUA (as far as I can 
tell - I'm a LUA newb!). This gives me the side effect that I can't use 
table.foreach to print my API so I'll have to add some extra functions 
to do that specifically.
