It's understand that you might want to make sure your code _continues
to work_ with 5.1, but there seems no reason to not support 5.2 as
well, and no obvious risk from doing so.

It's almost trivial to make most code 5.1/5.2 agnostic, and Lua isn't
going to drop the changes in 5.2, so where exactly is the benefit in
"holding off"...?
