Hi!
I'm in the process of improving our Lua documentation a bit, also in
respect to the recent changes in print() / io.write() behaviour and I
wanted to include a sentence or two about the above mentioned disabled
functions. And then I started wondering why we disable these two
functions at all - especially since we replace them with two other
custom calls...
I know Graydon committed this initially in
c6b551a24d7e2fd97d87aace1f03cabece12f8b7 back in 2005 and I found a
reference on the list
(http://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/msg02464.html),
but both don't bring me further.
Can anybody please shed light into this issue?
Thanks,
Thomas.
