Patch for if_lua: include all Lua core libs
Luis Carvalho
The Lua interface does not include all Lua core libs: it excludes the "io"
library and offers a restricted "os" library. However, since vim itself offers
system calls, this seems like an over-prudent constraint. In addition, there
has been recent interest in having all libs to the interface, especially "io".
The attached simple patch loads all Lua core libs for the interface.
Cheers,
Luis
