One thing which worries me slightly is potential speed issues.

Does Lua *really* go out of its way to make sure that if I do:

a = "Hello"
b = "World"

c = "Hello World"
d = a .. " " .. b;

Then the storage for c and d are the same memory?

If so, then I hope there's a way to turn this off because it seems to me
to be a hideous performance issue.
