G'day David,

Thanks for the 5.[1-4].x patch.  Sadly, I only tried in the most
naive way possible to see if it worked with 5.5, and, upon failure,
gave up, as patch couldn't fathom how to reconcile the "continue"
patch with the new sources.

(Two extra reasons why I dropped off quickly:

        1. A number of Rocks under LuaRocks that I depend on
        weren't compatible with everything in 5.5, but I only
        did testing when 5.5 was freshly released, e.g.

        require("std.strict")
        require("posix")

        and

        2. Real Life is taking up most of my time at the moment,
        and I'm mostly staying quietly with 5.1, which leaves a
        chance of trying out LuaJIT at some point.)

Just checking now, I'm not even doing full management of the
LuaRocks package manager itself:  It's 3.12.2 on one machine,
3.13.0 (current, released on 2026-Jan-29) on some others.

(I am staying away from the bleeding-edge LuaRocks Git sources
as always, as this may be incompatible with "lglicua"'s
expected usage.)

cheers,

s-b etc etc
