I mean when I add something to global table I tend to write
it explicit:

  local my_new_func = function() end
  ...
  _G.new_func = my_new_func

And if I doubts in clarity need I may call it as

  _G.new_func(...)

Surely I don't write

  for k, v in _G.pairs(t) do end

As all values that in _G when you just loaded interpreter
I consider "standard".
