lua_types/version.rs
1//! `LuaVersion` — the single source of truth for which Lua language version a
2//! runtime instance speaks.
3//!
4//! This lives in `lua-types`, the lowest shared crate, so every layer above
5//! (parser, compiler, VM, stdlib, runtime) can name the version without a
6//! dependency cycle. Per the multi-version architecture decision
7//! (`specs/MULTIVERSION_ARCHITECTURE_DECISION.md` §4, §5), the version is a
8//! *backend selector* threaded from construction; it never appears in a public
9//! embedding-API type.

11/// The numeric model a version uses for Lua numbers.
12///
13/// This is the single sharpest behavioral axis across versions: 5.1/5.2 are
14/// float-only (one `number` type, every value an `f64`, no `math.type`), while
15/// 5.3/5.4/5.5 carry the dual integer/float subtype.
