An UTF-8 aware subset of Lua's string module. The functions provided by this module are upper, lower, len, reverse, and sub.

Intended usage for this package is to preload it by adding the loader function to package.preload. Note that the Lua package library must have already been loaded before the loader can be added.

loadProg :: Lua Status
loadProg = do
  openlibs
  preloadTextModule "text"
  dostring $ "text = require 'text'\n"
          ++ "print(text.upper 'hello')"
