I would like to suggest a little change to table constructors related to
local
variables. Let me explain...
The reference manual says that:
" The statement
local function f () ... end
translates to
local f; f = function () ... end "
I think that this meaning would be extended to table constructors as well:
The statement
local t = { ... }
translates to
local t; t = { ... }
This way a statement like
local t = {f = function() print(t) end}; t.f()
would work as expected. Currently it prints nil (if previously it wasn't
given
a value to another variable also called 't'). It seems reasonable that 't'
should be a table (that one which was just created) instead of nil or
anything
else.
Differently the statement
local t; t = {f = function() print(t) end} t.f()
works pretty well! As expected!
Is there some drawback of doing this change?
