Can anyone point me to the discussion and rationale for this? I've just
spent the past while searching the mailing list archives. I must be
searching for the wrong keywords.
This really is concerning to me. I tried to explain it to some people
today, and the immediate response was "What? Why? How does that help?"
Perhaps I can do a better job explaining if I actually understood why adding
the extra (ugly) syntax for basic table iterations makes Lua a better
language.
