-- 2 running lua scripts

-- There are two ways of running lua code with the runscript primitive. In the 
-- normal case, the argument to runscript is executed as lua code. You can 
-- bypass this mechanism by prepending the runscript argument with the name of 
-- a lua function between double square brackets. Then, the remainder of the 
-- string will be passed as an argument to that function.Q
--
-- Code run with runscript may return a value; we will try and convert it to 
-- a string that metapost can understand.
--
-- Tables of the form { 'box_size', width, height, depth, margin } are  
-- converted to a transform. (The margin will be ignored for now, this may 
-- change in the future.)
