The traditional method is this:
local buffer = {} -- create a buffer
buffer[#buffer + 1] = x -- add values
s = table.concat(buffer) -- convert it into a immutable Lua string
Yes, I know, it would be faster with specific support. Mostly everything
in Lua (or any other interpreter) would be faster with specific support.
