Extension:Scribunto/Lua 5.2 changes

From mediawiki.org

This page documents changes in Lua 5.2 that may be of interest to those writing code for Lua 5.1. These may cause problems for reusers using Scribunto in unsupported configurations, and may be problematic if Scribunto is ever changed to use Lua 5.2 or later.
