Surely that is only because we are not used to it. I certainly think
function (myfile)
local <toclose> f = io.open (myfile, "r")
return f:read "*all"
end
is snappier than
function (myfile)
local f = io.open (myfile, "r")
local s = f:read "*all"
f:close ( )
return s
end
The __close event seems to me a logical extension of Lua's reflexive
capabilities.
