-// TODO
-// Use setters instead, because globals should be read-only!
-// Otherwise globals might be changed by Lua, but then unexpectatly overwritten by engine when a ScriptCall is triggered by whatever Lua is doing!
-// Sure, one could work around that in engine (e.g. by setting writable globals in SetGlobals only when their engine-side value has actually changed since SetGlobals was called the last time...), but things just get messier and messier then.
