I agree, someone should try it out, offer a patch... The
N3242 C++ draft was 1334 pages. I think Lua is very far
behind in that respect and we need to catch up!
We'll never win, alas. They just keep
growing ... but it would be nice to have new operators (say
for bit operations) so we could overload them. (Some of these
ways will be silly, but that's life)
cout << ":-)" << endl;
However, this proposal will not lead to
a very efficient solution, and as Mr Highland points out, a
language translator has to do that work anyway. Moonscript is
a good example of a language that uses Lua - and for a certain
value of identity, _is_ Lua with a new skin.
