Re: [BUG] Table constructor not equivalent to left-to-right assignment

[Miles Bader <miles@...>]

Scheme is another well-known and well-respected language that
intentionally specifies certain behavior as undefined (as far as I
know, the intent was to avoid making promises they'd later regret,
especially wrt to optimization).  Given the obvious resemblance of Lua
to Scheme, it's probably a better example than C...

[and from what I hear, Java is a case where they _did_ later regret
some promises made...]
