--- Checks uses of undeclared global variables.
-- All global variables must be 'declared' through a regular assignment
-- (even assigning nil will do) in a main chunk before being used
-- anywhere or assigned to inside a function. Existing metatables __newindex and __index
-- metamethods are respected.
--
-- You can set any table to have strict behaviour using strict.module. Creating a new
-- module with strict.closed_module makes the module immune to monkey-patching, if
-- you don't wish to encourage monkey business.
--
-- If the global PENLIGHT_NO_GLOBAL_STRICT is defined, then this module won't make the
-- global environment strict - if you just want to explicitly set table strictness.
