 We can make these ideas even more powerful if we use a new feature of Lua 5.0: coroutines.  Coroutines suffer from a great lack of advertisement, and I am going to play my part here.  Just like lexical scoping, coroutines taste odd at first, but once you get used with the concept, it can save your day. I have to admit that using coroutines to implement our file source would be overkill, so let's implement a concatenated source factory instead.
         {{{
 function source.cat(...)
+    local arg = {...}
     local co = coroutine.create(function()
         local i = 1
-        while i <= table.getn(arg) do
+        while i <= #arg do
             local chunk, err = arg[i]()
             if chunk then coroutine.yield(chunk)
             elseif err then return nil, err

 We used the {{pcall}} function to shield the user from errors that could be raised by the underlying implementation.  Instead of directly using {{pcall}} (and thus duplicating code) every time we prefer a factory that does the same job:
