Upvalues are obsoletes, but not dead, the syntax is still valid for 
compatibility reasons.

BTW, just to be sure, I tried an old script, and found that concat was not 
understood. I couldn't find it in lstrlib.c... Nor in the current (alpha) 
manual... I finally found it in ltablib.c, so it lives now as 
table.concat().
I mention it, just that you don't forget it in the final version of the 
manual (and for the other confused users :-).
Of course, there is a lot more to do on the manual, like writting the gfind 
doc.
