Thanks, Peter.

I should have been a bit more precise about my use case. I'm trying to
use the reader for the preload mechanism in Lua, not just execute a
chunk for a call. I see lua_load() (called by luaL_loadbuffer as well)
in the call stack, so I guess I'll dig a bit into the code to see how
this can be leveraged for 'require' and 'dofile'.

The implemented reader (getS) gives me a good idea already.

Thanks again,
