It has solved the problem of retrieving unassigned globals. It's
called 'strict.lua'. It's not in the distribution. Maybe it should be.
But Penlight and stdlib both supply it.

It has not solved the problem of mind-reading the programmer. If you
have variables x1 and xi, and by accident type xi when you mean x1,
not even strict.lua will complain.
