IMHO, if you have no paranoia and don't call global functions from inside OnUpdate and prob OnEvent funcs, only if you register for REALLY spammy events, e.g., CLEU, there's no point in creating upvalues for pretty much anything. Another reason might be to please one's Lua linter

Lmao @ please one's Lua linter! This is so true and has become a thing for me. I use Atom text editor and https://atom.io/packages/linter-lua-findglobals so I guess I am just so used to pleasing it

Also never thought of the whole _G = getfenv(0) deal. Incoming paranoia?

I call it _G-fetish

But in most cases upvalues and/or accessing globals via _G are a personal preference or even a style, people like weird things o_O
