> The old Lua 5.0 manual in Threads section says following:
> 
>   http://www.lua.org/manual/5.0/manual.html#3.20
> 
>   Each thread has an independent global environment table. When you create a
>   thread, this table is the same as that of the given state, but you
> can change each
>   one independently.
> 
> I can't find anything confirming this neither in the new 5.1 manual,
> nor in the PiL I book. Is it correct that Lua makes copy of global
> environment for each coroutine thread, or coroutines use exactly the
> same environment they were created in?
