  Question:  What does the following mean?

	foo = { a = 1, b = 2, c = 3 }
	bar = { x = 'one' , y = 'two' , z = 'three' }

	a,b,c in foo = x,y,z in bar

  How about:

	foo = { a = 1 , b = 2 , c = 3 }
	bar = { x = 'one' , y = 'two' , z = 'three' }
	baz = { one = 'alpha' , two = 'beta' , three = 'gamma' }

	a,b,c in foo = x,y,z in bar in baz
