i mean, i've *never* seen this used in actual
code. i certainly don't use it, even when i could. the syntax is just clunky
enough that i just don't bother. and of course it doesn't help that this can't
be used in luajit since it's 5.4. in addition to < const > , there's also < close > , which marks a variable
as "to-be-closed", meaning its `__close` metamethod will be called when it goes
out of scope. and, i still don't understand fully what the point of this is. why
is this necessary when garbage...
