Hi all!
Browsing the ref man of Lua 5.3.4 I stumbled on this.
In section 3.2 it's written:
----------------------------
The meaning of accesses to table fields can be changed via metatables.
An access to an indexed variable t[i] is equivalent to a call
gettable_event(t,i). (See §2.4 for a complete description of the
gettable_event function. This function is not defined or callable in
Lua. We use it here only for explanatory purposes.)
----------------------------
but in section 2.4 there is no mention of that "fake" gettable_event
function. In fact there is no other mention to it in the whole manual!
Could it be a remnant of older reference manual versions (I faintly
recall something in 5.1 manual) that escaped recent editing?
Cheers!
