Question: what are new_globals and new_read_globals?

[idbrii]

Custom sets of globals describes globals and read_globals:

   globals = {"foo", "bar"}, -- these globals can be set and accessed.
   read_globals = {"baz", "quux"} -- these globals can only be accessed.

It later mentions the new_ variables:

In config, globals, new_globals, read_globals, and new_read_globals can also contain definitions in same format:

But doesn't explain what they do.

I would guess these are their purpose:

• globals -- these globals can be set and accessed.
• read_globals -- these globals can only be accessed.
• new_globals -- these globals can be set but not accessed.
• new_read_globals -- these globals can be set and accessed.

However, that means globals and new_read_globals are the same. Possibly, "new_" means to append to another list -- use these globals in addition to std?

Also, Config options says:

Option	Type	Default value
new_globals	Array of strings or field definition map	(Do not overwrite)
new_read_globals	Array of strings or field definition map	(Do not overwrite)

Which maybe means I shouldn't set the new_ variables? Why are they there?
