There are two separate issues: what is included in the Lua  
distribution, and what does the language standardize.

I think it would be important for Lua to define what networking,  
multitasking, and a few other facilities might look like *if* they  
are available on some platform, even if there is no implementation  
provided within the Lua distribution itself.

Cheers,
