This is trivial in 5.1 and pretty simple in 5.0
(you have to change 2 macros in lmem.c and recompile).

The Lua core tries to avoid as much as possible of the C standard library.
Not so with the Lua libraries, though...

This is simple in 5.1 because there are macros for all numeric operations.
In 5.0 (and also in 5.1) you cal compile Lua to use int instead of double,
though I'm not sure that'd fit your needs.
