Yes, please.  In fact, all of Lua should... (at least that's what _I_
would like to see, purely egoistic standpoint, I know...)

On the C level, quite a lot.  strlen() and friends can no longer be
used, printf format strings like "%20s" don't work anymore etc.  Not to
speak about string comparison, collation etc.  Since I am not familiar
with LPeg's implementation, that is about all I can say.
