There is a Lua binding to gpio(4) in src/lib/lua/gpio.  Once we settle
the where-to-put-Lua-documentation discussion it will even be
documented.  So far most people seem to prefer a '3lua' manual section
over a '3l' section that I originally suggested.  Given the feedback, I
think it could be '3lua'.

I did not try.  But reading CONTENT_LENGTH bytes should do it.

That could be added.
