you need to understand how metatables work

__index is one of the metamethods that exists

__index can be either a table or a function that receives self, key

basically the use of __index is this:

you got your table set to a metatable:

local t = setmetatable({}, metaTable);

local k = t["test"]

imagine metaTable has a __index set to another table, what will happen is this:

• Will try to see if the key exists on the table
• If it does not exists, it will get the metatable of the table and if it owns the __index metamethod it will try to find the key in the table of the index metamethod
