Dive a bit deeper into Lua

Here is an Article I wrote, http://howto.oz-apps.com/2012/04/lua-riff-source-code-and-bytecode.html For the advanced users here that already know all about it and the beginner developers who are still grappling with the lua basics, you can avoid reading it, it will save both of us the extra comments.

@Atilim there was a question and hint/direction for you, can we have that all the lua source files be compiled and created into a single file like the RIFF format as described which can be extracted on launch, in fact a similar theory to encrypt it was suggested by @Gorkem a while ago on the topic of lua compilation and safe guarding the source code.

Need to also check if the bytecode in a released app can be changed and if it will still work, reminds me of the POKE and PEEK in the 80's which was used to POKE and change certain locations to cheat, get maximum lives, etc.
