question on string hashing and interning in Lua

[Andrea <andrea.l.vitali@...>]

this is about string interning in Lua:

- is there a limit on the max length for strings to be interned? (it seems that LuaJIT applies interning only on short strings)

- it seems the hash function does not look at all characters in the string, or does it? (not looking at all characters increase speed but also collisions)
