See these:

(um, yes, this solution does not come prepackaged for instant use, I know, sorry. But you might have some reason to prefer it, e.g. that it's pure Lua IIRC, so feel welcome to use it or ignore it.)

uh, oh, you know, the others were totally Not Invented Here... :/ but in hobby projects, reinventing the wheel is permitted! :)
