string.dump strip option (5.2 request)

[Daan Nusman <d.nusman@...>]

Hi,

1) I was thinking, for 5.2, why not add a boolean option string.dump so 
that to string.dump(f, true) produces bytecode without debug information.

Right now it is impossible to create stripped bytecode from within a 
normally compiled Lua interpreter (not counting luac of course), not 
even with a custom-made C function, because lua_dump also does not 
expose a "strip" parameter, so

2) let's change lua_dump to include the strip parameter too :)
