Hi, some questions which I could not find good answers for yet.

1. GC. Is it based on some well known project? If so, could you
reference that? If not, well, where is its code?
2. Native multithreading. The original Lua VM ignores native OS
threads and keeps everything, including GC, in a Lua state. If
somebody wants to run a Lua state on multiple native threads it is
their problem. What about CLX? In particular, is GC shared or also per
state? What does "stop the world" mean then?
3. What is the strategic plan for dynamic Lua code?

Cheers,
V.
