Add "import" Function and "UNSAFE_NO_SANDBOX" Flag for Accessing Built-in Lua Objects & Functions

[AntumDeluge]

Hoping this is a more acceptable solution than #308.

This adds an import function which is enabled with the UNSAFE_NO_SANDBOX command line flag & is used to access built-in Lua objects & functions within the config.ld file.

Example config.ld:

local print = import("print")
local string = import("string")

for _, s in ipairs({string.split("Hello world!")}) do
	print(s)
end

project = "foo"
title = "Bar"
file = {"init.lua"}

Example execution:

ldoc --UNSAFE_NO_SANDBOX .

Is it necessary to make the flag SCREAM_CASE? I have never seen it used in command arguments. --disable_sandbox fits the current naming scheme and looks better.

No.

I would be okay dropping the use of SCREAM_CASE, but I think we should keep the urgent verbose tone with the words "unsafe" and a negative "no", so --unsafe_no_sandbox. The only other alternative might be to split this into two flags and require both, e.g. --no-sandbox, but require a --unsafe flag to enable unsafe feature(s). If we think there might be more than one we want to warn about like this perhaps that would be best.

Having the option is fine, all in needs is a way to set it without screaming ;-)
