Accept LuaTable as function argument?

[mkpankov]

This code, when added as test to lua_tables.rs, fails to compile:

    #[test]
    fn accepting_luatable_as_fn_arg_works() {
        let mut lua = Lua::new();
        let foo = {
            move |config: LuaTable<_>| for (k, v) in
                config.iter::<String, String>().filter_map(|e| e)
            {
                println!("{} => {}", k, v);
            }
        };
        lua.set("foo", ::function1(foo));
    }

with this error:

Is it possible at all?

That's unfortunately indirectly what #118 wanted to fix.
Right now it's more or less waiting for ATCs/HKTs to be stable.

[mkpankov]

Ok, closing as there's already a [WIP] PR.

Not sure how #118 is blocked on ATC, but I just wanted to give a heads up: ATCs are stabilized in 1.20.
