This attitude is quite distressful.
I'd like to note that we wouldn't use the feature if we knew that
you're not going to support it down the road.
It's been 3 years since we started using exceptions,
and we choose C++ exception stack *mainly* because of the
transparency LuaJIT offered in handling them.
Perhaps the web site should highlight that external unwinding
is a bag of trouble - but oh well, you stated quite clearly that
you don't care.
