a user in #awesome made me aware of a little quirk in lib/awful.lua
which renders the history of the prompt unusable when using Gentoo and
installing Lua without the USE-flag "deprecated". Lua states that
string.gfind has been replaced with string.gmatch and aborts the
function prompt_history_save(id). I attached a patch that replaces
id:gfind with id:gmatch, which so far has not revealed any problems.

here is a patch that add tag support for tabulous, so now when a windows is
both tabbed and multiple tagged, it behave as expected (at least by me, that
is do not hide a window in a tag where it is not tabbed)
We can still mess up the tabs by clicking on the window name (in the taskbar)
but this will (I hope) be fixed in another patch.

The patch is mainly to export client_array_t object to Lua,
but can be used to export any ..._array_t object.
The idea: export to Lua not a table, but userdata with
metamethods to get/set/define length of ..._array_t object
directly.
Now when I get clients field from tag object C code
creates full copy of client_array_t structure into Lua table.
It takes traversing a whole array of data.
I did it in other way: userdata is exported, with __index,
__newindex, and __len meta-methods defined, and Lua
script gains direct access to client_array_t C-array:
it can get client object, get length of array and assign
client objects to some index in C-array.
Pros:
No overhead of creation a copy of C-structure into Lua-table:
if I want just to test a number of clients for a tag, I don't need
a whole loop to build table, I just want to read clients->len field,
and I do so via __len meta-method.
Also if I want to get some client from tags.clients, I don't need
to create ALL clients Lua-objects, I just get client_t C-struct
and create Lua-object from it. Just in place.
So Lua-loop enuming all tag.clients is not 2 loops internally
(first create copy of tag.clients into Lua-table, then enum this table),
but only one, and if I break out of loop in the middle, I create
only some client Lua-objects, not all of them from tag.clients.
Contras:
As far as clients field is not a table, I cant use pairs/ipairs
and other table functions for it.
But it can be implemented in other way:
for k,c pairs(tag.clients) => for k = 1, #tag.clients,
table.insert(tag.clients, client) => tag.clients[#tag.clients+1] = client
etc.
One more Pro now:
As far as tag.clients in current implementation returns copy of data
table.insert doesn't do what's expected: it doesn't really add client
into tag.clients "array".
With my implementation client is added as expected, as we work with
client_array_t structure directly.
