I also would love to be able to write Lisp-style predicate functions (e.g.
`empty?`).

Now I'm just thinking out loud: `?` is not used for a ternary operation
à la C, but is there some other obvious problem that it would cause if
I did this? (Other than the obvious fact that I couldn't rely on any other
Lua interpreter without lctype.c edited to run my predicate functions.)

Thanks, P
