It turns out that I've decided to use this interest as a way of making
my first C binding. I have to finish garbage collection and
documentation. My plan is to release it, as well. It sounds like there
will be 4 nanomsg libraries! (I'm calling mine nml for, "NanoMsg for
Lua").

It sounds like you'll have 5.1 covered. Mine only works in 5.2 and I
don't know if there will be much demand for it, anyway. Mostly, I'm
excited to post it and (hopefully) get some free mentoring on writing
Lua bindings as well as writing in C.
