## testglobal.lua

    -- very simple lexer program which looks at all identifiers in a Lua
    -- file and checks whether they're in the global namespace.
    -- At the end, we dump out the result of count_map, which will give us
    -- unique identifiers with their usage count.
    -- (an example of a program which itself needs to be careful about what
    -- goes into the global namespace)
