It would be so much better with some ability to do ffi.  I spend most
of my time making bindings, the mathlib could disappear if we had ffi.
I am not happy with the modules available for this, and luajit is
attractive but a breaking choice.. I wish something were available
from upstream :p  Lua + llvm I guess.  That would definitely increase
the size of Lua, though.
