I realize that "now" was long ago.  ;) I tweak test/table.lua to make
variables_like_this behave when I use it as directed in globals.lua

   luac -p -l file.lua | lua globals.lua | sort | lua table.lua

I have profited from almost all of the code in etc/ and test/ earlier
and still refer to some of it now and then.

Thanks,
Steve
