-- A standard (aka std) defines set of allowed globals, their fields,
-- and whether they are mutable.
--
-- A standard can be in several formats. Internal (normalized) format
-- is a tree. Each node defines a global or its field. Each node may have
-- boolean `read_only` and `other_fields`, and may contain definitions
-- of nested fields in `fields` subtable, which maps field names
-- to definition tables. For example, standard defining globals
-- of some Lua version may start like this:
-- {
--    -- Most globals are read-only by default.
--    read_only = true,
--    fields = {
--       -- The tree can't be recursive, just allow everything for `_G`.
--       _G = {other_fields = true, read_only = false},
--       package = {
--          fields = {
--             -- `other_fields` is false by default, so that an empty table
--             -- defines a field that can't be indexed further (a function in this case).
--             loadlib = {},
--             -- Allow doing everything with `package.loaded`.
--             loaded = {other_fields = true, read_only = false},
--             -- More fields here...
--          }
--       },
--       -- More globals here...
--    }
-- }
--
-- A similar format is used to define standards in table form
-- in config. There are two differences:
-- first, top level table can have two fields, `globals` and `read_globals`,
-- that map global names to definition tables. Default value of `read_only` field
-- for the these tables depends on which table they come from (`true` for `read_globals`
-- and `false` for `globals`). Additionally, all tables that map field or global names
-- to definition tables may have non-string keys, their associated values are interpreted
-- as names instead and their definition table allows indexing with any keys indefinitely.
-- E.g. `{fields = {"foo"}}` is equivalent to `{fields = {foo = {other_fields = true}}}`.
-- This feature makes it easier to create less strict standards that do not care about fields,
-- to ease migration from the old format.
--
-- Additionally, there are some predefined named standards in `luacheck.builtin_standards` module.
-- In config and inline options its possible to use their names as strings to refer to them.

-- Validates an optional table mapping field names to field definitions or non-string keys to names.
-- `index` is an optional string specifying position of the field table in the root table.
-- Returns a true if the table is valid, false, an error message, and index of the table with the error otherwise.
