In game lua edit

[gyogen2]

While I had a game running I changed something in a lua and saved, and it took effect in the game.
Has this always been the case and I'm just that slow, or is i just certain luas?

It was an edit to the worldinpput.lua

I know in civ5 if you changed a context xml file this would happen wrt the associated UI.

I stumbled on this when following William Howard's tutorial(s) on UI modding. Freaked me out, really.

I think (but am not positive) you only get it withUI lua as a general rule. I seem to remember some method to hotload a change to a 'gameplay' InGameUIAddin, but never tried it.
