G'day,
[This message is in reply to Dirk's response, but I receive the messages in

Some digging around show that we're both right... There was an etc
subdirectory from at least 4.0.1 to 5.1.5, but which vanished by the time
5.2.4 was released.
Furthermore, where the etc/ subdirectory is found, strict.lua only appears
in the 5.1.5 release... and a search for "strict" yields nothing with any
other current tarball (or, at least since 4.0.1):
$ tar tzvf lua-4.0.1.tar.gz | grep strict
$ tar tzvf lua-5.0.3.tar.gz | grep strict
$ tar tzvf lua-5.1.5.tar.gz | grep strict
-rw-r--r-- lhf/tecgraf 928 2008年01月19日 03:33 lua-5.1.5/etc/strict.lua
$ tar tzvf lua-5.2.4.tar.gz | grep strict
$ tar tzvf lua-5.3.4.tar.gz | grep strict
Just for fun, here's the contents of etc/ in the 5.0.3 tarball:
$ tar tzvf lua-5.0.3.tar.gz | grep -i etc

I suppose it's just my style, to keep things as modular as possible. Another
possible reason is that different people have different coding styles, so a
change within a script could appear jarring. And finally, it's easier to
track bugfixes/revisions when modularity is enforced, such that third-party
sources are clearly delineated.
