Lua in Leadwerks #0: Tentative Feature List

This is the opening post for the list of items I want to code from scratch in Lua to work with Leadwerks 3.1 Indie Edition in no particular order.  As features get implemented, this post will be updated to have links to the implementation posts.  Each post will have the folders from the FromScratch project so you can use the code as you see fit provided you comply with the accompanying license.

Note that this is not a promise that all of this will be coded, just that it is my intention to do it if time and motivation permits me.
