Just a small correction:

local function g() end ==> local g; g = function() end

The difference?

1  local g =
2  function( x )
3      if x <= 1 then
4          return x
5      else
6          return x * g( x - 1 )
7      end
8  end
9
10 g(10)

The statement

       local function f () ... end

translates to

       local f; f = function () ... end
