lua equality operator

[Christopher Lux <christopherlux@...>]

hi,
i am new to this mailing list. so hello ;)

i am working on some scripting functionality for my application. i chose  
lua for various reason, one being its simplicity. now i ran into an  
problem with lua, namely the function of the equality operator. it is  
impossible to overload it for userdata types (i am using luabind). i can't  
define the == operator for my classes to work with for example int, float  
or string literals. this is because lua only uses the == operator for  
objects of the same type. i found the lua patch [1] on lua-users.org which  
solves this. is planned to work such a patch into future lua?

i think it would be a very powerful addition which ohter scripting  
languages (like python) support and would make lua even better.

thx
