I think this proposal is quite convenient. At the moment I do something like:

local min, max, sin, cos = ridx(math, "min, max, sin, cos")

which allows me to copy&paste lhs to rhs to minize typing errors.

I also like to proposal to have obj:f returns a closure with "binded" self
argument. I actually thought about this proposal before reading it here, but
I guess it's not that hard to immagine :P
