Jacek is trying the approach of reassigning Lua's io.stdin and io.stdout
variables before running the requested program. This is a bit
problematic because, as Patrick noted, there are other places where
stdin and stdout can leak, for example io.lines called with no
arguments. But perhaps with enough tweaking this idea will work.

I think in the end this just wouldn't be a good solution. Scripts
which would call os.execute or use a library that talks to
stdin/stdout wouldn't work as expected.

So what Jacek has done now seems like one of the better options, IMO.
