ply against LuaJIT?</dt>
<dd>Because it's a completely redesigned VM and has very little code
in common with Lua anymore. Also, if the patch introduces changes to
the Lua semantics, these would need to be reflected everywhere in the
VM, from the interpreter up to all stages of the compiler.<br> Please
use only standard Lua language constructs. For many common needs you
can use source transformations or use wrapper or proxy functions.
The compiler will happily optimize away such indirections.</dd>
