-<dt>Q: Why doesn't my favorite power-patch for Lua apply against LuaJIT?</dt>
-<dd>Because it's a completely redesigned VM and has very little code
-in common with Lua anymore. Also, if the patch introduces changes to
-the Lua semantics, these would need to be reflected everywhere in the
-VM, from the interpreter up to all stages of the compiler.<br> Please
-use only standard Lua language constructs. For many common needs you
-can use source transformations or use wrapper or proxy functions.
-The compiler will happily optimize away such indirections.</dd>
