then if that turns out to be true, override the comparison of _S.* objects to use equality

which may or may not involve some cpp if _S.* is a cpp object

not sure how correctness depends on your current place at earth :)

yeah, I'd expect that

don't know if lua support unicode, if it does another path is to start using native lua strings instead of our magic

lol :)

hmm, not sure I understand

you'd check presence of the string, if available that's the version, otherwise you do what we do now, and derive a string of set from it

local str = _S.level_names[1]:upper()
if self.map.level_name ~= str then
  self.world.gfx_set = "fulL"
end

and you're back at the equality problem

for lua, the object is the value I think

from what I remember, it's about having utf-8 support which by now may have been added to lua itself

but perhaps not 5.1 that we still support

:O

ah ok :)
