Re: Why not Just PHP-stupid include?

[Josh Simmons <simmons.44@...>]

I'm not sure I see any advantage in regressing to a text based
include. Loading external code in Lua is simple and all external code
is handled the same way whether it comes from a string or a file or
puff the magic dragon. If this were to be implemented you'd then have
two different systems (run-time and compile-time) working on the same
problem for little benefit. I certainly don't think this would make
anything easier for anybody.
