Is there any "__assign" in Lua? I only found a thread on a mailing list (
http://lua-users.lua.org/lists/lua-l/2004-06/msg00294.html ) which speaks about
that two tables should be used and "__newindex for assignments and __index for
reads."
In the Lua 5.1.3 source code ( http://www.lua.org/ftp/lua-5.1.3.tar.gz ) there
are only the following events (src/ltm.c):
* __index
* __newindex
* __gc
* __mode
* __eq
* __add
* __sub
* __mul
* __div
* __mod
* __pow
* __unm
* __len
* __lt
* __le
* __concat
* __call
