Re: [ANN] luaprompt 0.3

Hi,

Just wanted to give a bit of positive feedback.

Up until this point I've been creating short scripts with vim and running them to debug stuff. I did have an interactive option which just called debug.debug() which was difficult to use. I've just switched the interactive option to call luap_enter instead, and I must say it's fantastic. Both the tab completion and the colour pretty printing are fantastic, especially as I can now just type require("module") to see exactly what it exports.

I haven't got command line history to work yet, but I think that may need a few more #defines for readline and maybe some other luap_calls. I need to read through the example to figure out what calls to make, and I don't have any more time to spend on it for now, but I will be utilising it fully when I get the chance.

The only issue I've had so far is that it is rather c++ unfriendly and I had to make some changes to get it to compile as c++ with g++ 4.7.2 on Debian Wheezy. See the attached patch if it's any use to you.

Thanks,
Kevin
