I second that. Also, at the moment, checking if a thread is the main one 
is a little cumbersome (i.e. pushthread, checking the return value and 
then poping the thread). luaL_getmainthread would allow for an easy 
equality test.

P.S. Wouldn't it be nice to have a place in lua.org or in lua-users' 
wiki were this kind of requests could be posted, and Lua authors could 
 state their opinions on them?
