Implements
load(and_Gfor tests).loadis added as a separate module in the stdlib, withLua::load_load_textmirroringLua::load_io;Lua::coredoesn't includeload, butLua::fulldoes. This only supports text chunks, but is set up such that adding new variants ofloadshould be straightforward.It matches PRLua's implementation, likely closer than we actually want, since PRLua's load has some quirks:
loadcan take a function that returns segments of the text; this must be a function, and cannot be a table with a__callmetamethodloadcatches errors thrown by the inner iterator function and returns them as parse errorsThis implementation currently matches PRLua in all of those semantics. I should probably change this to use
table.concatinternally for consistency, though it isn't trivial -- the iterator function can return either nil or an empty string to stop iteration, which makes the semantics not map perfectly to a metatable-generic concat system.
