Roberto Ierusalimschy has given two reasons. 1. "I must confess that I did an entire course of Eletrical Engineering and have no recollection of ever met them." <http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2014-04/msg00144.html> 2. "In other words, the main reason for removing those functions were not to gain 500 bytes, but to increase conceptual integrity." <http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2014-07/msg00384.html>
