This cart defines type = 2 for some reason. Tostr doesn't like that.

What would you expect to happen?

@sparr nothing, tostr should have its own type, in a local variable or something, it shouldn't use the global variable

I never saw this at the time, but the explanation is that type() is a built-in global function, e.g.:

if type(myvar) == "function" then
  myvar()
end

And you're allowed to override built-in global functions.
