And as a reminder, Metalua and LuaMacro make experimenting with syntax cheaper than patching C code.
I'm probably more on the side of the list criminals than the list police, but it's a lot more fun to talk about syntax changes when they're in running code.
Which reminds me, I know the $"" syntax works and works well, but I never got around to implementing "static" for initialization hoisting :-(
