Re: UTF-8 patterns in Lua 5.3

[Oliver Kroth <oliver.kroth@...>]

to my knowledge in most "big" OS, there are already libraries for 
handling Unicode semantics.
I'd like to propose to let Lua do the UTF-8 encoding matters, and use a 
(probably OS-specific) glue library to refer the Unicode semantics to 
the underlying OS. This library may e.g. be named "unicode" to avoid 
name clashes with utf8.

There is no sense in re-inventing the wheel.
