Hmm. I was going to say "But it *is* possible to use "bit" without
depending on external modules written in other languages..." (because
of e.g. http://luaforge.net/projects/bit/), and I do think that the
topic of how agnostic each component of a program is allowed to be
about the nature of its loosely-coupled dependencies is an interesting
one -- but I can see that I am coming at this whole thing from much
more of a "philosophical Friday afternoon" angle than you are, and
it's only likely to annoy you. So I will drop it, I meant no offence.
