-- Note: "dednat4.lua" and "dednat6.lua" try to load this at startup,
-- with 'require "edrxlib"', just after setting the path; if this has
-- already been loaded by LUA_INIT, then the 'require "edrxlib"' will
-- be a no-op, because of this trick:
--      (to "package.require")
--      (to "edrxlib")
-- otherwise it is loaded, usually from "~/dednat4/" or
-- "~/LATEX/dednat6/". See also:
--      (find-dn4 "dednat4.lua" "edrxlib")
--      (find-dn6 "dednat6.lua" "requires")

--
-- This init file used to work both on lua-5.0 and lua-5.1...
-- I have stopped using lua-5.0, but I kept the name of this file.
-- This file works on Lua 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, and 5.4.
--
-- This file still has _A LOT_ of cruft!

-- «string-methods»  (to ".string-methods")
-- A note about "string methods": if s is a string, then a piece of
-- code like "s:rep(2)" works like "string.rep(s, 2)"; this is a
-- Lua-5.1-ism that is not described in the first edition of PiL - the
-- one that is online, that covers only Lua 5.0. When we do
--
--   s = "foo"
--   print(s:rep(2))
--
-- then the "s:rep(2)" is syntax sugar for 's["rep"](s,2)'. At first
-- sight, the table access s["rep"] should fail, but in 5.1 strings
-- have a metatable like this:
--
--   setmetatable("str", {__index = string})
--
-- and so instead of failing Lua does something else... the s["rep"]
-- becomes getmetatable(s).__index["rep"], and that is just
-- string["rep"], i.e., string.rep; so, s:rep(2) works like
-- string.rep(s, 2).
