Compiling to lua bytecode

[Marcus Mason <m4gicks@...>]

Hello all, recently I've been thinking of using lua as a target for a little language I've been working on, however I'm aware that lua's bytecode is not documented and it is not covered considered good practice to execute precompiled bytecode. That being said are there any unofficial resources on the format for a recent version of lua? (>= 5.3)
