Maybe wait a bit until some other things surface?

A new FAQ section? Should contain the 'My app crashes when I open
the io library' problem, too (not lua_call'ed.)

If the C assert needs to be explicitly turned on (like the other
assertions), then it's worthless. If not then it may be a
performance hit. It also might trigger too late. It triggers when
the first table is created after the init of DirectX, but not
necessarily before the first load/store fails.
Another suggestion: resurrect the lua_number2int MSVC asm macro.
I thought the last iteration of this worked well enough, before
it was replaced by the portable (but precision sensitive) macro.
The gcc asm macros always worked fine.
Bye,
 Mike
