I'm not too sure I like the idea of doing this in the manual, but I have
a lot of sympathy with writing Lua code that is portable across several
versions. A quick reference to the information would be very useful.

I've somewhere seen a document giving a two-dimensional table of
features against Lua releases. Maybe even on lua.org. Anybody with
a better memory?
