There are no "slightly different Lua versions". Lua 5.0 and 5.1 are close
but not the same and probably not binary compatible; we only seek source
compatibility. Moreover, new Lua versions are very infrequent. Lua 5.1
was released in 2006; Lua 5.0 in 2003.
That being said, a luaL_checkversion could be useful in the future.
It has been proposed before:
