RE: modularizing lua code

["Jerome Vuarand" <jerome.vuarand@...>]

I'd also like to see raw sockets in LuaSockets. I ported a ping tunnel client to pure lua some months ago, but as sending and receiving icmp requires raw sockets I could not use LuaSockets. It's not complicated to make a C binding, but it surely would have saved me some time (and it would probably have saved my project too :-) ).

haha!, right but i think it's for better: a core language should be as minimal as possible while being as expressive as possible.

a library on the other hand, should have lots of features, especially if it's well-factored into nice optional modules
