It might also be a good idea to still map the function to
vlc.playlist.goto so lua 5.1 users which use that function can continue
doing so ( => keeping backwards compatibility is a good idea). It is
still completely valid to name a function that way. The only invalid
thing is to call it using "vlc.playlist.goto" in lua 5.2 code.
