This function might be of particular use if #739 is accepted, but as it
stands, it still brings a measurable reduction in complexity for
swapping byte order and is measurably faster (around a 50% reduction in
time per operation on my machine), albeit on the order of magnitude of
nanoseconds.
String interpolation and table.getn/et al deprecation has been live for
a while.
getfenv/setfenv linter diagnostics is going to ship in the next release,
so preemptively marking this as Implemented as well.
It looks like all three functions actually have been deprecated in Lua
5.1, and removed in Lua 5.2.
We do not plan to remove them to retain backwards compatibility, but the
RFC should be more precise.
We've had this restriction in the original RFC, but decided to remove it afterwards. This change puts the restriction back - we need to work through some implications of future support for string-based DSLs together with interpolated strings which may or may not change the behavior here, for example to allow something like
```
local fragment = xml `
<img src="{self.url}" />
`
```
