Awesome!  Just looking around to see whether I should rebase Zi again
yet...

Nice touch :)

Btw, how do we get luarocks to pick up the latest releases of all the
libraries we depend on now?  Actually, I think between us, our recent
code in Lua Zile now requires unreleased std, luaposix, and there's no
luarock for rex_onig at all.

I'd be happy to test, release, and do whatever is necessary to have
luarocks pick up the new versions...

Kind regards,
