Problem with lua bindings overriding global table functions

[JFT90]

Hi,
first of all thank you for all the great work on rmlui!

I am currently replacing cegui with rmlui in a project of mine.
I am trying to use as much lua code for UI event handling etc. as possible and noticed that
the global table overrides in

RmlUi/Source/Core/Lua/GlobalLuaFunctions.cpp

Line 146 in c170c24

void OverrideLuaGlobalFunctions(lua_State* L)

break some of my other lua code using the iterators pairs , ipairs ( I simply iterate over elements
in a lua table and the iterators return nil where the standard iterator returns a valid entry. )

At the moment I temporarily fixed this problem by deleting the overrides, which breaks the iteration over ElementAttributes for example.

A correct fix would be to only override the iterators for the tables that need the special iterators instead of overriding iteration behavior globally.

Edit: I am using lua 5.3

Hi, and thank you for the encouragement. Glad to see more people involved.

Unfortunately, the Lua implementation is not my strong suite, and I don't really know it well enough to be able to help in this case. Any help fixing this would be appreciated.

Ok, I will try to dive into the Lua implementation when I have some time.
