What I'd want is a way to have a script say "I'm done for Lua 5.0
syntax, please consider that" and so.. This could then be used to
handle deprecated vs. "latest and greatest" syntax changes
consistently. Also, it would grant the reader of the source to see,
which Lua is expected to be running it.
That seems nice. A simple scheme would be simply a function call
like compatmode5_0() or something like that.
Should it control the "whole" compatibility at once or should it
control different issues independently?
(e.g., compatmode5_0("longstrings") would set compatibility only
for long strings/comments...)
