# Module `std.strict`

Checks uses of undeclared global variables.

All global variables must be 'declared' through a regular assignment (even assigning `nil` will do) in a top-level chunk before being used anywhere or assigned to inside a function.

To use this module, just require it near the start of your program.

From Lua distribution (`etc/strict.lua`).
