Shouldn't it perhaps be better to put it in luaconf.h? Or is it in
llimits.h because it's supposed to be changed very rarely?
A second point: does "should not be larger than 255" mean there is no
way to disable it and restore the previous behavior?
Maybe "0=all strings are interned" could be useful in case some program
had trouble with the new system (e.g. I can think of some sort of text
processing, such as a translation helper that uses chunks of already
translated text as table indexes).
Assuming no underlying change or new optimization prevents this, of course.
