Can you elaborate regardless? It introduces 1 more type, removes the vararg type and some functions that deals with var args. The end result are less lua functions and fewer exceptions to remember. 

Who uses @ as vararg? Who uses ... as vararg?

Why hasn't Perl 6 taken the world by storm?

How many coders have all of C++ at the tip of their fingers?

        don't want to be the guy who's coming from X language that
        want changes in Lua because it's different from his
        favorite language. I'm not really expecting any change but
        it's fun to think about language design and I'm looking
        for feedback.

    Really?

    (That's all I'm going to say, ha ha. :-p I'll leave it to
    others to argue it out.)
