Time to go to bed. Exploration with #Lua again tonight. It is still mind-bending, but getting somewhat easier to grok. I suspect that I’ll be able to apply this to learning languages like #Squirrel and #Wren, which take inspiration from Lua.

As usual, if something seems to give unexpected results, look at the interaction with tables, which are dictionaries (associative arrays), but in some circumstances, more like real arrays or even classes & prototypes & objects.
