Re: Lightweight function syntax: no need to change Lua

[Romulo <romuloab@...>]

I think the person meant:

z = nil
local z = 42
('x,y')('x+y+z,x-y-z')(10,7) --> error: arith on a nil val

I can't remember if Lua 5.2 changes the lexical scoping of load'ed
chunks, but my bet is that it doesn't (although the new debug
functions can make it so, as previously demonstrated).
