Some simple syntactic sugar in the Lua interpreter would be very sweet
here, something like:-

	expects "5.1"

...could print out a standard version warning message and quit. You would
also want a way to make this happen from C, of course. This would avoid
everyone having their own variations of the "sorry, you need at least
version xxx" message and would save memory, be easier to internationalise,
etc, etc...
