lua-rs-hlua-shim 0.0.15

Drop-in replacement for the `hlua` 0.4 embedding API, backed by the pure-Rust lua-rs VM. Lets hlua-based consumers (authoscope, sn0int) run on lua-rs behind a feature flag.
Documentation
//! A drop-in subset of the `hlua` 0.4 embedding API, backed by the pure-Rust
//! lua-rs VM instead of the C library.
//!
//! The goal is source compatibility: a consumer that does
//! `use lua_rs_hlua_shim as hlua;` should compile and run against lua-rs without
//! touching its own code. The implemented surface is the part exercised by
//! `authoscope` — `Lua`, `functionN`, `AnyLuaValue` and friends, `LuaFunction`,
//! and `StringInLua`. It is intentionally not the whole hlua API.
//!
//! Sandboxing note: lua-rs's runtime opens the full standard library, whereas
//! hlua consumers typically open only `string`. This is acceptable for a
//! compatibility spike but widens the sandbox; restricting the opened libraries
//! is tracked as future work.
