It's not crazy, noone has needed this "feature" since.
There you see how many acually use Lua. The reason this is not perfect is because noone seems to check and as Orbiter is a complete hobby project (nobody gets any money for it) it's kind or rude what you say.
By the way you can help make things better! You are requesting from others to fulfill your needs, so please be so kind and calm down.
I have absolutely no interest in Lua, still I am trying to debug your issue.
Having the FILEHANDLE as it is in the C++ Orbiter API and having to use it with the other (not yet implemented) functions is good, as it is documented already!
The behaviour is well understood by many C++ add-on developers.
If you like to have another API, go and make it, but be sure to make it 100% and well documented, else someone might think it is "[...]absolutely unusable without helper functions that don't exist and haven't been developed in over 10 years[...]".
Don't get me wrong, I still like to help you out and improve the Lua interface for you, but please be patient.
