Excellent, didn't see that specific quote.
Will take some time to learn the internals, but it has been an interest of
mine for a while
Fortunately, it looks like a lot of the harder work is done, since there
are already primitives in IR for the bit operators to generate optimal
assembly.

*Subject:* Backwards compatible Lua 5.3 features
Is there any interest in back porting a couple of safe Lua 5.3 features.
Specifically
* bitwise operators and metamethods
* string.pack, unpack and packsize
There is mention of contributing patches in the FAQ, but I couldn't find
any official "contributing" file. I'd be interested in taking a look at
this as a side project.
Cheers,
Stuart
