[JW Lua] JW Lua constant namespaces

[Thomas Weber]

Thanks for that!

Why not make it a module?  Attached is module const.lua (adapted from your code with additional INVERSE namespaces to retrieve the constant names from keys) and example const_example.lua.  I put the module into a folder called "lib" where I store my modules, therefore the "lib." prefix in the latter file.

One thing made me curious:  Your iteration over the "finale" table where you check for keys starting with "__propget" seems to suggest you might add more such keys in the future - as currently (at least in JW Lua .39) there's only one such key.  What's behind this?
