I used 'in' because I didn't wanted to introduce another keyword (in
fact I prefer syntax without keywords like smalltalk and others ... But
this doesn't prevent me from using Lua).
But really, it could be anything, 'in' doesn't sounds so good, you're
right.

I would really like something like that come up in the next Lua
version, maybe if we could have the opinion on Lua authors on this ...
