AW: new thought experiment: what would you add to Lua ?

[<michaelflad@...>]

Thanks for the link - may thoughts were more along an integrated solution as everything
else can be uncomfortable to use.

That said, I haven't thought about the most obvious solution. I just wrote a package loader
that removes all the lines with assertions. It's just a tiny hack but works like a charm, thanks
to the flexibility of Lua.
Of course I'll have to change this into a real preprocessing step for releases that might
use precompiled Lua code but that's not an issue.
