Re: [Proposal] .name global indexing (Was: Re: 'with' statement)

I could be wrong but I believe he may have meant something different. Consider this use of space and how it affects readability:

t = {}

--[[

Possible

multi-line

comments

--]]

name = 'me'

print(t.name)

The assignment name = ‘me’ is not immediately clear it is part of the table t.

At any rate, to me this is indeed annoying, not in that I would do something like this in my own code but that I may have to deal with it in someone else’s code.
