Hey, thanks for that link, this kind of stuff is why I came to ask here. I read that your module does changes to the global environment (in the default load manner), are any of those changes backwards incompatible with code written for plain 5.1?

It won't work because of `lua_pushfstring(L, "%U", ?)`. You can #define
it to something reasonable, though. Compat-5.3[1] has lutf8lib.c
backported to Lua 5.1, btw.
