Perl and Python have done it that way for years.
Considering the Lua release cycle (1-2 years between minor versions)
this is a non-issue. You won't find a universal mechanism that
covers anticipated future (non-)compatibility, anyway. How do you
know that all your installed scripts will be compatible with
a hypothetical Lua 5.2?
In fact I have both Lua 5.0 and Lua 5.1 installed and I certainly
don't want to mix up the installed modules. In fact they are
not compatible (neither the C modules, nor the Lua modules).
BTW: Asko, could you please configure your mail client to a sane
posting mode? Attaching the whole posting you are replying to
at the bottom is neither helpful nor readable. Thank you.
