Scripting.LuaUtils

This package is an add-on to the HsLua package by Gracjan Polak (http:hackage.haskell.orgpackagehslua).

HsLua only provides a very bare-bones wrapper over the Lua API, and this package is meant to fill in the gap by providing some commonly used features.

Currently the following features are provided -

1. Lua.StackValue instances for a variety of commonly used datatypes, such as Lists, Tuples, Either, Maybe etc. 2. luaDoString and luaDoFile utility functions. 3. A function to dump the contents of the stack for debugging purposes (dumpStack).
