Re: prettier names.
convention is to keep the name the same for those in the standard library
eg: local pairs , select , tonumber , type = pairs , select , tonumber , type;

for those in other libraries, replace the index with a _, or remove
the seperator altogether.
local iopopen = io.popen OR local io_popen = io.popen

I like to have each library on a different line (and each thing in
alphabetical order): -- note: these ones are my personal tastes
local pairs , select , tonumber , type = pairs , select , tonumber , type
local tableconcat = table.concat
local iopopen , ioopen = io.popen , io.open


Daurn.
