Apparently even low-level things like strcpy() are banned. (And it
looks like it was banned even before new 3.1.1 clause.)

And Lua uses strcpy()...
$ git grep -n strcpy
src/lobject.c:193: strcpy(out, "");
src/lobject.c:204: strcpy(out, "[string \"");
src/lstrlib.c:750: strcpy(form + l - 1, LUA_INTFRMLEN);
src/luaconf.h:650: strcpy(b, "/tmp/lua_XXXXXX"); \
But this is getting a bit off-topic, sorry.
