Unicode support

[Gary Makin <garym@...>]

I've been converting a project over to support Unicode as much as possible.
I've just got to the Lua section of it, and I was surprised to see that, as
far as I can tell, the Lua code has no support for being passed a Unicode
block of text, or to execute code that's in a Unicode formatted text file.

Am I wrong in this, and if not, is this something that's planned for the
future?

Thanks,
Gary
