2020-11-06 Learning Lua

I spent pretty much all of my hacking time today munching on Lua documentation and trying out random snippets of code. (Once you know a couple of dozen programming languages, you typically learn a new one by taking a few hours to read the reference documentation and try a few short programs, and you're good to go.)

This is mostly so that I'll know enough Lua to write a library for extending the style sheets of osm2pgsql to create the tables that the current incarnation of OSM shield rendering uses.
