v2.0.0
## v3.1.1
* Better handling of LuaJIT's `ctype` and `cdata` values (#34, thanks @akopytov)
## v3.1.0
* Fixes bug: all control codes are escaped correctly (instead of only the named ones such as \n).
Example: \1 becomes \\1 (or \\001 when followed by a digit)
* Fixes bug when using the `process` option in recursive tables
* Overriding global `tostring` with inspect no longer results in an error.
* Simplifies id generation, using less tables and metatables.
## v3.0.3
* Fixes a bug which sometimes displayed struct-like parts of tables as sequence-like due
to the way rawlen/the # operator are implemented.
## v3.0.2
* Fixes a bug when a table was garbage-collected while inspect was trying to render it
## v3.0.1
* Fixes a bug when dealing with tables which have a __len metamethod in Lua >= 5.2
## v3.0.0
The basic functionality remains as before, but there's one backwards-incompatible change if you used `options.filter`.
* **Removed** `options.filter`
* **Added** `options.process`, which can be used to do the same as `options.filter`, and more.
* **Added** two new constants, `inspect.METATABLE` and `inspect.KEY`
* **Added** `options.indent` & `options.newline`.
## v2.0.0
* Ability to deal with LuaJit's custom types
* License change from BSD to MIT

Sometimes it might be convenient to "filter out" some parts of the output. The `options.filter` option can do that.
`options.filter` accepts a table of values. Any value on that table will be rendered as `<filtered>`. This is useful for hiding things like long complex tables that are not interesting for the task at hand, for example an unuseful complex metatable.
local person = {name = 'peter'}
setmetatable(person, complex_mt)
inspect(x, {filter = {complex_mt}}) == [[{
name = "peter",
<metatable> = <filtered>
}]]
`options.filter` can also be a function. The function must return true for the values that must be filtered out.

Installation
============
Just copy the inspect.lua file somewhere in your projects (maybe inside a /lib/ folder) and require it accordingly.
If you are using luarocks, just run
luarocks install inspect
Otherwise, you can just copy the inspect.lua file somewhere in your projects (maybe inside a /lib/ folder) and require it accordingly.
Remember to store the value returned by require somewhere! (I suggest a local variable named inspect, although others might like table.inspect)
local inspect = require 'inspect'
-- or --
table.inspect = require 'inspect'
local inspect = require 'lib.inspect'
Also, make sure to read the license file; the text of that license file must appear somewhere in your projects' files.
