Wait - this is a macro library - what is LUA doing here? Well, it is a little known fact that you CAN run LUA within a SAS Macro. It has to be written to a text file with a `.lua` extension, from where you can `%include` it. So, without using the `proc lua` wrapper.
To contribute, simply write your freeform LUA in the LUA folder. Then run the `build.py`, which will convert your LUA into a data step with put statements, and create the macro wrapper with a `ml_` prefix. You can then use your module in any program by running:
