All functions in lauxlib.c can be written "outside" Lua, as they do not use 
any inside information. This library exists only because Lua itself needs 
those functions. Because Lua does not use a "luaL_verrorf" function, there 
is no point in putting it inside lauxlib.c. It is easy for those who 
need it to write it (as you did); those who do not need it do not have to 
pay for it. Moreover, an implementation with a fixed buffer of 500 chars 
is what Lua needs, but may not be exactly what other people need.

You are right.
