Man, that is such cool code that I don't understand how it actually
works ;)  In particular, how does it do the basic networking layer?

Nice notation..

Actually, orbiter.init [1] doesn't have to use LuaSocket. I got it
working under LuaJava using Java sockets to give a Java server a
console - that trylua example then allowed me to speak directly to the
beast.

[1] although the pattern ../?/init.lua is convenient, I find it
confuses people and perhaps orbiter.lua should sit next to the orbiter
directory. This will be easier once there's a LuaRocks install.
