At this point, it's compatibility.  All code that has ever depended on tostring will have to be rewritten.  What's the rationale behind changing it to be honest?

Wait uhh... maybe not the package tables as Lua doesn't use the package table to look them up... but definetly _TOSTRING as print() uses it.

For real tho, what's the rationale behind not calling it _TOSTRING? (also for metamethods - why not _EQ, _NE, _INDEX, _NEWINDEX etc?)
