The idea is new semantics for __newindex so you can use it without rawset(): function __newindex(t,k,v) if condition then return k,nv elseif othercondition then return nk,v elseif anothercondition then return nk,nv else return k,v end endWould that be exactly equivalent to this? function __newindex(t,k,v) if condition then rawset(t,k,nv) elseif othercondition then rawset(t,nk,v) elseif anothercondition then rawset(t,nk,nv) else rawset(t,k,v) end end What is the gain? -- Roberto
the gain is that I don't have to expose rawset...
