Lua 5.2 added the ability to yield thru C functions, but most functions aren't yieldable (e.g. string.gsub, load, table.sort). Does the manual require that those functions be non-yieldable? or could a conforming implementation have them be yieldable? (Also why are they not yieldable in the reference implementation?)

I made several functions yieldable for my system. The most prominent one was 'require'. That makes it possible for me to debug in required scripts.

It might be interesting to have a bundel of patches on the Lua Wike. The best organization would probably be one patch per function.
