Request: Provide access to the meta information

[SteveWaring]

For example:

local meta = server.getmeta();
local id = string.gsub(meta.author .. "." .. meta.name, "%s+", "");

An alternative would be to provide the path of the remote. For example:

local path, author, name = server.getpath;
meta = io.open(string.format("%s%s%s", path, (string.sub(path, 1, 1) == "/") and "/" or "\\", "meta.prop"), "r");
io.input(meta);
for line in io.lines() do
	if (name == nil) then
		local start, finish = string.find(line, "^meta.name:%s*");
		if (start) then
			name = string.sub(line, finish + 1);
			if (author ~= nil) then
				break;
			end
		end
	end
	if (author == nil) then
    		local start, finish = string.find(line, "^meta.author:%s*");
    		if (start) then
    			author = string.sub(line, finish + 1);
    			if (name ~= nil) then
    				break;
    			end
    		end
    	end
 end
 io.close(meta);
 local id = string.gsub(string.format("%s.%s", author, name), "%s+", "");
