[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: macros as arrays/sets/dicts (Issue #1825)

[Panu Matilainen]

Ooh, I've been playing with the idea of pushing more of the macro implementation to Lua, array support being one of the potential use-cases (which in turn has several use-cases waiting). Bring it on! :grin: 

As for syntax, I wonder if we couldn't use the common dot notation for methods, eg `%{aaa.push foo}`. Or Lua's OO syntax, `%{aaa:push foo}' where the method would basically just be the first argument, just like in `%{aaa push foo}`. But I guess an entirely new notation would make it clearer that something special is going on.
