Description
How much should we cover up the differences between Lua versions?
lua_len isn't available in Lua 5.1. Should Lua.len() support this by calling rawLen or objlen?
Should LUA_COMPAT_MODULE be defined?

Research direction
Start with the Lua.len() entry point and compare the Lua 5.1 alternatives rawLen and objlen, then inspect the compatibility implications of LUA_COMPAT_MODULE. Review the supported Lua versions and existing binding conventions before deciding which differences should be covered; done means the compatibility policy and resulting API behavior are clearly defined.
