I agree with that. Whenever the time comes to make adjustments
to the Lua code I miss the good old "compiler will tell me
where type became incompatible" style of refactoring. As common
in scripting languages nothing stops you from having typos in
a property name that you want to assign a new value. It'll
just create a new one.
