Note that is not order of evaluation, but order of access (only because
of the volatile).

Probably it refers to the second line in this segment:

  { volatile union luai_Cast u; u.l_d = (n) + 1.0;  /* avoid -0 */ \
    (i) = u.l_p[0] + u.l_p[1]; }  /* add double bits for his hash */

We could rewrite the sum as this, but I am not sure it is worth
the trouble:

    (i) = u.l_p[0]; (i) += u.l_p[1]; }
