Module std.strict

Checks uses of undeclared global variables.

All global variables must be 'declared' through a regular assignment (even assigning nil will do) in a top-level chunk before being used anywhere or assigned to inside a function.

To use this module, just require it near the start of your program.

From Lua distribution (etc/strict.lua).
