Haters gonna hate.

And there is nothing obviously 'tortured' about using _ENV:

--8<--

do
  local _ENV = {}
  _NAME = 'BAZ'
  function Foo() if _NAME then return end end
  function Bar() Foo() end
end

-->8--

Neither Steve's lglob...


$ lua lglob.lua TestGlobal.lua

lglob: TestGlobal.lua:3: undefined get _NAME
lglob: TestGlobal.lua:4: undefined get Foo


… nor Luiz's globals52...


$ luac -p -l TestGlobal.lua | lua globals52.lua | sort
TestGlobal.lua	3	undef	_NAME
TestGlobal.lua	4	undef	Foo


… can handle the most trivial _ENV usage… sigh… oh, well…

I'm at loss about all the hate. Give _ENV some love!
