rawset() bug? [Lua 5.0.2]

[Romulo Bahiense <romulo@...>]

Hi,

	Shouldn't rawset use it's second and third parameter as the new desired 
key and value respectively?


Consider the following:

Lua 5.0.2  Copyright (C) 1994-2004 Tecgraf, PUC-Rio
> t={}
> rawset(t,1,2,3,4)
> print(next(t))
3       4
>

	Please note that I already avoid this problem by enclosing the third 
parameter with parenthesis, and I just created this email because the 
manual says that rawset uses the 2nd and 3rd parameters, and not n-2 and 
n-1 (I was experiencing 'strange' behavior while using the 3rd parameter 
as the result of string.gsub, which returns the new string plus the 
number of substitutions made).


	Sorry if this has already been discussed, but I couldn't find any 
related mail with keywords 'rawset' and 'bug' (the best match was a "4.0 
Buglist" back 2002, but was about seg. fault when calling raw[gs]et with 
extra arguments).



Best regards,
Romulo.
