I was wondering if you can detect the nilling of an object through meta tables ?



foo = 
foo_mt =
__newindex = function (t, k, v)
print (k, v)
rawset (t, k, v)
end


setmetatable (foo, foo_mt)

foo ['oof'] = 3

outputs: oof 3

foo ['oof'] = nil

__newindex will not be called, so is there another meltable method ?
