This is a work version. An updated reference manual is included but
all details may change in the final version. See
	http://www.lua.org/work/doc/

The main change in Lua 5.3.0 is the introduction of integers.
For other changes, see
	http://www.lua.org/work/doc/#changes

Here are the main changes since work2:
	- exponentiation is only for floats
	- more functions in math handling integers
	- new API for continuation functions
	- io.read'*n' reads both floats and integers
	- new function debug.Csize
	- new API function lua_rotate, lua_isyieldable
	- more flexible __eq
	- stand-alone interpreter creates 'arg' before running any code
	- coercion from strings to integers (on integer operations)
	- deprecation of some math functions

All feedback welcome. Thanks.
