Hello,
I am not a lua specialist, but a quick glance at lua manual revealed
that lua treats the terms "byte" and "character" as completely
equivalent. There is no binding for mbrlen() function in the string.*
namespace. This means no support for UTF-8.
In fact, some experimental support has been added at 2005-05-27:

Which option should I choose?
1) Leave everything as-is in hope that non-ASCII strings are never
passed to lua by ion.
2) Upgrade lua to CVS version and be unsure whether it works or whether
ion can use this new UTF-8 feature.
3) Drop both packages.
