Re: Extending dofile() to pass arguments

Just a year ago, I asked for the same thing [1].
One conclusion from the thread was that the behavior of the argument
table "arg" is hard to define.

In LuaDura, I have redefined dofile to accept a variable number of
arguments several years ago.
No user ever complained about side effects.
The only problem IMHO is that LuaDura users may consider that this is
a standard feature...
