Lua 5.2 Wish list item: stable API between versions

[Mike Kreuzer <mike@...>]

Just noticed some other 5.2 wish list items, and, well, Christmas is
coming up. :-)

My wish: a stable API between versions.  Every time Lua increments a
version all the Lua DLL (and equivalent) users have a lot of back-end
re-writing to do.  Some is sometimes inevitable, but less would be
better.

If a project takes several years to develop, and it's hoped that it'll
be useful for several years after it's finished, that's two lots of
several years worth of stable API to aim for.
