Re: [ANNOUNCE] Lua 5.0 (beta) now available

Still some would argue for even more verbose naming in public APIs:

lua_size
lua_level
lua_type
lua_index

Not that it's worth a discussion.  The Lua authors should be free to 
use any coding style they wish.  I'm just happy that Lua 5 is making 
progress --- Thanks!
