--[[--
 Normalize API differences between supported Lua implementations.

 Respecting the values set in the `std._debug` settings module, inject
 deterministic identically behaving cross-implementation low-level
 functions into the callers environment.

 Writing Lua libraries that target several Lua implementations can be a
 frustrating exercise in working around lots of small differences in APIs
 and semantics they share (or rename, or omit).   _normalize_ provides the
 means to simply access deterministic implementations of those APIs that
 have the the same semantics across all supported host Lua
 implementations.   Each function is as thin and fast an implementation as
 is possible within that host Lua environment, evaluating to the Lua C
 implementation with no overhead where host semantics allow.

 The core of this module is to transparently set the environment up with
 a single API (as opposed to requiring caching functions from a module
 table into module locals):

      local _ENV = require 'std.normalize' {
         'package',
         'std.prototype',
         strict = 'std.strict',
      }

 It is not yet complete, and in contrast to the kepler project
 lua-compat libraries, neither does it attempt to provide you with as
 nearly compatible an API as is possible relative to some specific Lua
 implementation - rather it provides a variation of the "lowest common
 denominator" that can be implemented relatively efficiently in the
 supported Lua implementations, all in pure Lua.

 At the moment, only the functionality used by stdlib is implemented.
