Thanks for the feedback. We will correct this statement. Strings in
Lua clearly do not represent arrays of characters; people should
expect s[i] = "x" to work too.

It would be nice if everybody read the entire manual with such respect
to its details. At least everybody would understand what "#" means ;)
