Re: How can Lua be compiled as unicode charset?

[Asko Kauppi <askok@...>]

There is pretty much information on this at the Wiki (http://lua- 
users.org/wiki/LuaUnicode) and in list archives.

Personally, I've found Selene (http://luaforge.net/projects/sln/) to  
be promising in making a "Unicode version" of Lua. Most people end up  
customizing such in one way or the other, it is true that a Unicode  
enhanced (say, all text UTF-8) version of Lua would be tasty.

(Disclaimer: there are opinions, all of which can be found at the  
archives. This is mine. :)
