Right... I thought you were working on a Lua fork, Cratera, right?

So why wouldn't you add your desired functionality to your fork? At least
do the initial work to show the benefits of your implementation and why
it should be something worth consideration of adoption upstream.

If this is something *you* desire to have in Lua then I think *you* will
need to do some of the groundwork towards implementation, no?
