You seem to have lots of ideas that involve, to a greater or lesser  
extent, changes to the syntax of Lua.

Surely the nice, clean, solution to your problems is some sort of  
Scheme like hygenic macro system?

That way you could define whatever extra syntax you like in it's own  
package, and then include and activate it through a require  
statement, without impairing the understandability of the original  
language, and with a clear indication of where new syntax elements  
have come from.

Cheers!
