New option "setparms" for 'collectgarbage'
...
The generational mode also uses the parameters for the incremental
mode in its major collections, so it should be easy to change those
parameters without having to change the GC mode.

Bug: Buffer overflow in string concatenation

Cleaner protocol between 'lua_dump' and writer function

'lua_dump' signals to the writer function the end of a dump, so that
