It indicates paving the path for local scoping in a future release where Lua 5 code is upgraded with global declarations to keep it working.

For me it's interesting because global variable declarations haven't been needed before, so why now? Also, I'm not sure `global` was reserved before, but now it seems to be.

		lua does not preserve compatibility between minor versions. As such they don't need to reserve words for future use.
