Re: Syntactic sugar for sets

[Asko Kauppi <askok@...>]

Once/if token filters become mainstream.

I've actually included support for them in OS X fink package of Lua  
5.1.1, but that's kind of "unmentioned".  To really start using them,  
I'd like them to be official.

Distributing code is the problem there; I cannot ship something that  
requires a patched Lua.
