Lua Enhancements

Lua 5.1:

• UserDataRefinement
• YieldableForLoops A simplified reimplementation of the forpatch (below) for 5.1work6
• GeneralizedPairsAndIpairs (Could be modified to work in 5.0.2 with the compatibility library)

Lua 5.0:

• Files:wiki_insecure/users/rici/forpatch.diff A patch to Lua 5.0.2 which allows iterator functions to yield to a scheduler. Also changes the semantics of for loops so that the control variables are bound within the loop rather than within the for statement itself, and includes the hack to call the traceback function from coroutines.

Lua 4.0:

• ExtendingForAndNext (Now mostly outdated by Lua 5)

Miscellaneous

• LuaEnCastellano (en construcción)

Thanks for the updates to LuaUnicode, I obviously didn't have my head screwed on properly when burbling on about how UTF-8 works thanks for setting it streight. I'd been meaning to ask you to take a look at it. It's now looking pretty sharp don't you think? -- DavidJones
