It's just a matter of syntax sugar; "function b()" sugar is not applied within table constructors. Without sugar, you would need to write name= function() ... for _any_ functions.
Lua has this sort of things, since the language implementation is intended to be minimal, and straightforward. Observe that the following is also perfectly valid:
tab={ function() echo "hi!" end }
That places tab[1] as a function.
NB. You don't need the ;'s, coming from Perl? ;)

a fast one: I'm trying to do this:
tab={
function b()
echo "hi!";
end;
};
but it fails. However
tab={
b=function()
echo "hi!";
end;
};
works. Is this the intended way to work? I fail to see
any reason to disallow the first one
Happy new year! :)
