Re: [ANN] Lua 5.3.0 (work2) now available

Is it really intended that

    a = math.max(1, 2)

returns a = 2.0 (a float)? This change in behaviour, besides being very 
counterintuitive, kills a lot of my modules which rely on tostring(a) 
giving "2" (without a decimal part). It means that I would have to 
surround each such operation with an ifloor() call, which is pretty 
ineffective and annoying.
If that can't be changed, I'd suggest an addition of imin(), imax() and 
iabs(), witch return integers.

Regards,
Bernd
