I see it most often for "standard" things like Math. Rather than
importing each one separately you can bring in all the functions, like
this maybe:
import("Math","all")
local r = min(1,log(sin(PI*2*fraction)))
which looks a lot nicer than:
require"Math"
local r = Math.min(1,Math.log(Math.sin(Math.PI*2*fraction)))
Call me slow, but I just noticed that in lua 5.1work6, you can use:
str:sub(2, 2)
instead of
string.sub(str, 2, 2)
Oddly (perhaps), lmathlib does not add itself to the metatable for
numbers, but there's no obvious reason why it shouldn't, allowing this
lovely syntax:
> pi = require"math".pi
> fraction = 0.4
> =(1):min( (pi*2*fraction):sin():log() )

OK, it was (mostly) a joke. But for what it's worth, here's the patch
(code copied from lstrlib.c):

This does have the consequence that:
