meta method __newindex for reassignment...

["Brendan Dowling" <crypt@...>]

Hi,

I'd like to make a system for catching errors in a somewhat large Lua
project (~14,000 lines of Lua).  Specifically, I'd like to catch
reassignments of globals and entries in certain tables during the
initialization phase.  However, the __newindex meta method does not
seem to get called for reassignments, only new assignments.  This is
probably a pretty simple hack, but I didn't see it in a search of the
archives or a google search.



Thanks,
