Never mind that most of the ARMs I've worked on have no integral divide 
instruction.  The divide that our compilers generate is very inefficient 
so we always roll our own (and different ones for different 
circumstances depending on where you need your accuracy), so you'd want 
to be able to tell lua to use that division instead if you just replaced 
lua_Number and recompiled.

But I digress (too ;)...
