i don't understand that you mean by "replacement APIs". i think the
best way is to provide C low-level functions that implements open,
popen, getenv functionality using utf8-encoded strings (internally
converting them to/from utf-16) and use in io/os packages these
functions instead of usual ones
What you've just described /is/ the replacement API I was thinking about.
Has anyone already performed this work (making a 'lightweight' wrapper
for Windows to make Lua operate like this)"?
