Yes. "I am aware of all Internet traditions." Yes. It is also a relatively common error to reuse bufs/pool members before all references to them have dropped. ...and may break with a mutable string t

I think they are unaware that there is no patched release with a possibly updated patch version number of all those reported bugs in a timely fashion. Nobody is suggesting rerelase with exactly the s

I think the common practise is to add an additional number for the patch level. However, I understand Lua doesn't want to rerelase fixed tarballs due to lack of time - but at least the download page

I am working on a fully deterministic Lua, and I gather that one source of indeterminacy in a script's execution is that Lua tables hash objects according to their positions in memory, and traversing

Indeed. Tables are a corner stone of what Lua is and one of the reasons why I like Lua. My only problem with the "roll your own data structures" is how can one do it without more basic blocks? Imagin
