That should work. I don't like changing the lua library though. It's
very brittle; what if somebody decides to upgrade to a new lua release?
Also, if somebody packages Aquaria for a Linux distribution, the first
thing they're going to do is to make it use the system lua library.

So I'd prefer to put a modified str_format function in the Aquaria
source and installing that as a custom string.format function. It looks
like that can be done with just a lua_setfield call.

That would be the best solution.
