Two thumbs up to Dibyendu for the update!

It is good see various updates and guides to Lua internals, and 
there was work released by other folks too.

To Dibyendu, feel free to redo or rewrite in any way you like. 
Once you have done a significant amount of writing, put your name 
as first author. Since I have shoveled my stuff online and left 
them untended, the person who claim and update it should be the 
current de facto author. For open source works which has uncertain 
levels of maintenance, I think the system is working as intended.
