It really would be nice to be able change how Lua looks up local variables from within Lua. This would allow variable references in object methods to automatically look in self (as in many OO languages) if a local doesn't match. 

Example:

function Person:fullName()
  return self.title.." "..self.firstName.." "..self.lastName
end

Could become:

function Person:fullName()
  return title.." "..firstName.." "..lastName
end
