BTW, I've seen lot of Lua code where the OOP style for strings is not used, i.e.: string.match(s, pattern) instead of s:match(pattern), so it's something pertaining to own's programming style.
I didn't even know the s:match(...) thing was an option, mostly because I wasn't looking for it seeing as I don't do the OOP thing.
