Multiple assignments to the same variable

[Eike Decker <zet23t@...>]

I stumbled accross something I couldn't find an anwer to in the Lua
manual. How is the bahavior of multiple assignments to the same
variable defined, e.g.

a,a = 1,2

or

t[1],t[1] = 1,2

?

>From tests, it seems like the values are assigned from right to left,
overwriting the previous values (so a and t[1] is 1). However, since
this is not described in the manuals, I fear that this behavior might
not be stable. Or maybe someone can hint me where this behavior is
described if I overlooked it.
