I understand that there's a collision and that renaming 'methods' may 
solve the problem.
However AFAIK C-files are compiled one-by-one and the argument 'methods' in
    luaL_register(L, NULL, methods);
should have been resolved at compile time because the compiler sees its 
definition above.

What I'd like to understand is why the real behavior is different and 
how to prevent such troubles in the future.
So the 2 questions remain:
1. Whether the lack of the word 'static' is a bug here?
2. Does some GCC switch exist to prevent such behavior?
