Good work, complete with annotations!  I didn't see any mention of the
new behaviour of io.popen();  closing the resulting file object
returns the process result, which is very useful.

I note that Luiz mentioned some extensions to io.lines() - is that
like read's '*L' option, giving us lines-with-line-feeds if needed?
