One important thing I forgot to mention in my previous message; if you are
going to hack Lua I strongly recommend grabbing the Lua Test Suite[1] for
testing your changes... you will not regret using it! I also recommend
creating additional tests for whatever new features you plan on adding.

If you are developing under macOS (previously OS X) I also have a small
patch which makes some platform-specific changes to allow the entire test
suite to run without any asserts. 

Good luck with your Lua hacking endeavours! :)
