Well, all this is chopped down by Ace and AceGUI I'd note (by using a base framework to load only one XML set). XML is irrelevant in Ace AddOns and even with a GUI, if AceGUI is used then the XML is...

Those are only login tests however, as I stated previously, I'm aware that tables have an extra footprint 'on initialization' as I'm aware that an OO AddOn initializes faster. What I'd really like...

Gello Actually, I'd think it would be a bit different because the tables are processed on a different level to the namespace.

On loadup, for example, one namespace entry would be one thing to...

It's not only collisions but it's actual pollution that can't be good for the namespace, for exampe -- how do you support saving your variables? The point I would like to make is that flat-global...

Perhaps it was a previous version of the Lua parser? The Blizzard devs actually stay pretty up to date with Lua and in a recent patch, they bumped it up to 5.0, which is the latest. Let's just hope...

This is a bug. It's been talked about since 1.8, it was a bit of an "Oh dear." on the part of the developers. If you login and then logout and even only have one innocuous AddOn...
