Re: Good read on 5.3, mostly about numbers

[Dirk Laurie <dirk.laurie@...>]

Excerpt from: lua-5.3.0-alpha/doc/manual.html

"idiv": the // (integer division) operation. Behavior similar to
the "add" operation, except that Lua will try a metamethod
if any operator is neither an integer nor a value coercible to
an integer (see §3.4.3).
