Bug report #1526022 by neomantra
Lua strings and std::string can contain embeded zero's
Therefore a standard out typemap should not be:
  lua_pushstring(L,$1.c_str());
but
  lua_pushlstring(L,$1.data(),$1.size());

Similarly for getting the string
  $1 = (char*)lua_tostring(L, $input);
becomes
  $1.assign(lua_tostring(L,$input),lua_strlen(L,$input));
  
Not using: lua_tolstring() as this is only found in Lua 5.1 & not 5.0.2
