 I feel I'm adventuring on a ground which can be prone to
 hot opinions here, so, beware :)
 The new alpha release of Lua now uses const keyword,
 which is a good thing in itself, but this caused a big
 headache when integrating it to my project, which does
 not use it (I know the pros and cons of const, however :)).
 So what I did is replacing all occurences of const in Lua
 with LUA_CONST, which I defined away when compiling my
 project.
 Did someone else had to do it ? Is there any chance the
 final release of Lua includes this ? If not, I'll keep
 my define thing.
 I didn't ask before as I feel I'd better use consts in
 my project in the first place, but this is definitely
 something I can't get used to...
