Don't use Blizzard's code as an example of anything other than basic API usage (eg. what values are returned by what functions). It is indeed messy and inconsistent, and often is not just stylistically bad, but functionally bad as well. It's full of unnecessary globals, excess table and function creations, and other unsavory habits. There are also plenty of examples to be found in there of code written by someone who clearly was not familiar with Lua at all... this is my all-time favorite right here:

Whoever wrote that apparently did not know about string.upper.
