Yes, I know. This statement of mine wasn't meant to discredit Lua and
its implementation (and thus its creators:-). It was mostly a note to
myself that Lua seems to adhere to the principle of "garbage in, garbage
out". IMHO a good thing because it means that its API is thin and
provides no heavy (and therefore bloated) abstraction.

Yup, will do so.
