Pretty cool.

Note that a lot of the Lua community is sticking with v5.1 for now.  It's
generally considered that 5.2 doesn't bring very much of interest to many, and
remaining at 5.1 allows for the use of LuaJIT. (Mike Pall has stated he's not
moving to full 5.2 compatibility on that).

Any work you do to make AwesomeWM 5.2 compatible, while cool, should definitely
be well tested with Lua 5.1 too.  I personally think it's way more important to
allow for LuaJIT than to allow for the minor new functionality 5.2 provides.

If you're already heading down the compatibility line then that's excellent
news (I'll admit I've not read the code changes yet) but if you hadn't thought
of that, or if you want some help to be sure it remains compatible with both,
then please let me know and I'll see if I can organise some time to help rather
than kvetch from the sidelines.

Thanks,

D.
