Okay, fine:
int foo()
{
int baz;
// lots of code here
return baa;
}
and
function foo()
local baz
-- lots of code here
return baa
end
Better? C will compilain about 'baa' not being defined, while Lua will
silently treat 'baa' as a global value and return nil.
Yep. But it has nothing to do with "spelling". Compilers are stupid, and they certainly do not have spelling rules.
