The assert() function documentation isn't such a great spot to collect
all the information on error handling in lua.

"error" has an explicit meaning, its described here:

http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#2.7

which contains links to error() and pcall(), reading the description
of all the related functions is a good idea: pcall(), assert(),
lua_pcall(), lua_atpanic(), etc...

Maybe search the manual for the string "error", or just read it top-to-bottom.
