LuaIDE and Lua 5.1

[Chris Marrin <chris@...>]

I am posting this question both the the developer of LuaIDE and to the 
Lua list, because I think it might be interesting to others.

I am porting LuaIDE to Lua 5.1 and have found a function 
lua_getlineinfo() that was added to the 5.0 Lua interpreter included 
with that source. I see that 5.1 has a new 'L' flag passed to 
lua_getinfo() that appears to do the same thing or something similar. 
But I can't find any documentation of this flag in the released docs.

Can anyone tell me what this flag is supposed to do, or if it is 
documented anywhere?
