interesting to make proposals for the evolution of Lua(JIT) through
tested implementation in LuaJIT. This is common in the C++ world, that
the ISO committee prefers to adopt new proposals where feasibility

Uh oh. Brace yourselves ...
Language design needs taste and experience. Sadly, most people and
committees lack that. Any you know, the road to hell is paved with
good intentions.
It looks like there's already a contest going on about the best way
to hijack and destroy LuaJIT with the most atrocious and hazardous
changes.
I could't possibly anticipate how fast things would go downhill
without leadership. The raptors can sense the void. They're already
sharpening their claws at the portal.
I'm outta here in a couple of days. Good luck. You'll need it.
