I'm specifically working on / with Redis 2.6 (release candidates),
LuaAV, luvit and LuaJIT. Some sort of "write in a single version of
Lua everywhere" is what I'm trying to get. The fact that "Programming
in Lua" covers 5.1 is a big help; I don't see a need to restrict
myself to anything earlier than 5.1.
