if I pass a nil value to string.format function, it will raise a error and the interpreter quit.
For example,
string.format("%d",novalue), where novalue is a nil variant.
Why not outputing a "NIL" like string? It think it's not very friendly to print a error information and
exit.
Wether it exits or not is entirely up to the C code that calls the Lua code. It doesn't have to exit just because lua_pcall indicated an error.
