BTW, Global variables that are set to nil have the same behavior --
setting a global to nil removes that variable binding completely. Much
of Lua didn't make sense to me until I discovered this. In fact, it
still seems strange that a reference to a variable with a value of nil
and a reference to a variable that does not exist are equivalent.
BTW, on a slightly different subject -- has anyone ever written a
tutorial for writing simple Lua libraries?
