Diverse `make_lookup`?

[ngvt1n]

Currently make_lookup only accepts string as value in the key-value pair. I would say even other types like table, number and function are pretty useful as well.

The nice thing about strings is that you can easily use them as enums;

• lookup["value"] works
• lookup[12] works

but only strings allow you to do

• lookup.value

(provided the key is a valid Lua identifier).

that said; if we have a use case for other types, then that would be easily added.

Oh yeah I agree the key should be string, the value tho...
Something (we already have a use for boolean?) nice we can have is

make_lookup("actions2redraw", {
left = true, 
"right" = false, 
}) 

or

make_lookup("actions", {
left = function() ... end 
right = function() ... end 
})
