Hey all,
Just wondered if the following syntax is being
considered at all:
for i = 1, #... do
print(...[i])
end
Imo it seems a natural extension, and less
cumbersome then:
local select = select
for i = 1, select("#", ...) do
print(select(i, ...))
end
And would of course be orders of magnitude faster
for large varargs.
It would also allow writing select in pure lua,
something which is currently impossible.
Still, I can see that some people may not like the
syntax, just wanted to throw it out
there anyway.

P.S. I do realise
it's a little inconsistent, as true lists will never be indexable...
eg:
local a = (1, 2,
3)[3]
