-\verb'lua_pushliteral' is like \verb'lua_pushstring',
-but also puts the string in the Lua literal table and merges duplications.
-This avoids the string to be garbage collected,
-and therefore has a better overall performance.
-As a rule, when the string to be pushed is a literal,
-\verb'lua_pushliteral' should be used.
