Re: A die(reason) or exit function is missing, isn't it?

[Jan Schütze <JanS@...>]

Hello,

so I should call the mainfunction with pcall and ignore its message this 
way?
Hmm, should be possible - but looks like an evil hack :-).

Thanks for fast response, hope that lua-devs implement a die, so such 
workaround isn't needed.

Kind regards,
 Jan (DracoBlue)
