Yes. I realize that.

Like everything else in Lua's land, "Lua gives you the power, you build 
the mechanisms". This is great as far as mission statements goes, but 
not of very practical use when it comes down to mundane tasks like 
written Lua code in the first place.

In any case, I was just asking, sorry about that. Lua have been around 
for over a decade now. Most likely, people have tried different ways to 
handle the same problems and I was simply hoping that somehow, someone, 
somewhere could perhaps provide some guidance to a newbie instead of 
having to "build [the same] mechanisms" over and over again by myself. 
Sigh.

But enough venting for today :)

Thanks to all who replies all the same. And as with most things in Lua 
land, I will simply "roll my own" as usual :P

Cheers
