FWIW, LuaPlus (http://luaplus.org) has wide string support.
      

It would be great to have this functionality in Lua 5.2.
    

Why?  Lua shouldn't be infected with this crap.
  

LuaPlus's wide string support has, among other things, been used to ship a number of commercial console games (Xbox and others) to in Far Eastern languages.

So should Lua be infected with this world-wide language enabling "crap"?  That's not my call.  Unicode is far more than just 16-bit characters, but having those 16-bit characters was sufficient to ship properly localized string tables.

FWIW, I just simply leave the #defines off the majority of the time.
