Hi EnricoActually I don't want to change Lua per say, it's just that with all the module discussion I feel that a large part of the list is arguing for the wrong sort of things. I think that there should be more attention paid to making it simpler to use. Perhaps that puts me in the anti-module camp but if it does, I don't think the revision goes far enough to bring it to the easy of use of python/import, PHP/include.
Again I don't understand the internals and if this sort of thing will cause too much overhead then it's pointless as Lua has to find some safe space between the fat/feature-rich languages.
