Yeah, sorry, it's late.

Try this instead, which is a common idiom:

d = {
	one = 1, [1] = "one",
	two = 2, [2] = "two",
	three = 3, [3] = "three"
}

Renaming field names will horribly mangle this.

My point is that field names are not just arbitrary symbols (like local
variable names). They're actually *data*, which your program may need to
process, and therefore changing them will break your program.
