 local variables avoid a lookup in the 'global' table and hence are more efficient. Thus it is common practice to cache values in
 local variables. For example, ``print`` is a global function - and following creates a local variable that caches it::

 ======================================================================
 When you present a script to Lua, it is compiled. The script can be a file or a string. Internally the content of the script is wrapped inside a Lua function. So that means that a scipt can have ``local`` variables, as these live in the wrapping function. 
 
-It is common practise for scripts to return a table of functions - as then the script can be treated as a module. There is a library function 'require' which loads a script as a module.
