Hi Xavier!

Thanks for your interest in lua-repl; I had originally planned for
plugin support for this release, but after observing some weaknesses in
lua-repl 0.1 (namely, lack of basic history support), I decided to cut
a release with this feature in it as quickly as I could!  I have
already started work on the plugin framework, though. =)

Thanks,
Rob
