The weird thing is that the entry for `io.open` *does* state otherwise:

I had some experience about this. We transform our game from Chinese to Thai
languages. We use GNU's gettext package.

first, all text are around with _"d= e%=o< d8g "(Chinese), but sometimes
we use _ in Lua as a annoy variable, so we changed it to L, and use xgettext
to extra these marker (L"Hello") to a po file, and use GNU GUI tools to
translate the po file.

after that, we compile .po file to .mo file, and use lbuffer
(https://github.com/starwing/lbuffer) transform mo file to Lua table, and
implement the L global function to find text in table.

lbuffer has a table based pack/unpack routines, in days we don't have
string.pack/unpack, nowadays you can use these directly to translate mo to
Lua table.
