-% Lua is a very minimal language, and it does not have a lot of built-in functions. Some functions will certainly be needed by a lot of packages. Instead of making each of them implement these functions, the aim of this file is to provide a minimal set of functions. All functions are taken from Con\TeX t libraries.
-%
-% There are some differences with the Con\TeX t funtions though, especially on names: for example the \texttt{file.*} funtions are renamed in \texttt{fpath.*}. It seems more logical as they deal with file paths, not files. Also the \texttt{file.is\_readable} and \texttt{file.is\_writable} are renamed \texttt{lfs.is\_readable} and \texttt{lfs.is\_writable}.
-%
-% If you use a function you think is missing in this file, please tell the maintainer.
-%
-% \texttt{Warning:} Even if the names will certainly remain the same, some implementations may differ, and some functions might appear or dissapear. As Lua\TeX\ is not stable, this file is not neither.
-%
-% All functions are described in this document, but the one of the functions you'll use most will certainly be \texttt{table.serialize} (also named \texttt{table.tostring}) that takes a table and returns an intented string describing the table. It describes the table so that Lua\TeX\ can read it again as a table. You can do a lot of things with this functions, like printing a table for debugging, or saving a table into a file. Functions are also converted into bytecode to be saved.
