Funny comic, but poor timing. It could be seen as an insult to those 
people who have expressed their concerns about the current behavior of 
`io:lines()`. I'm sure it wasn't meant that way, but I have the feeling 
that the tone in this thread is getting more and more offensive. So I'm 
with Roberto on this: Let's continue this discussion another time, when 
we had the chance to see the actual manual change and evaluate its 
effectiveness in avoiding this issue. Maybe we even have a 
community-maintained replacement for Lua's IO library by then.
