Btw, I'd like to ask if there's a compelling reason why these posix
functions have their own namespace, why not simply extend the existing
"os" table?
"os" module is the least common denominator of all ANSI C compatible
operating systems. Core Lua makes very little assumptions about
underlying OS. For example, core Lua does not even know about
directories and Lua search-paths are pattern based. IMHO, POSIX
library should stay as an add-on.
