On Linux distributions, a standard practice is to override `DESTDIR`
when running `make install` during the packaging process.

Support using that variable rather than requiring `PREFIX` to be
overridden.

Not sure about Nik; I do work for a megacorp ($FB), and generally agree
with Drew. Happy to share my 2 cents, with the caveat that there are
things I can't discuss in a public space like this.

One of the Fennel core tests intentionally throws an error and tries
to match it against an expected value.

This breaks on Fedora's `lua` (but works with `luajit`) since the
truncation behavior is different.

Tighten up the match so it passes on both `lua` and `luajit`.

```
  fennel on  master
  ❯ lua test/init.lua | grep -E "not ok|#  "
  not ok 9        test-core
  #   test/core.fnl:49: (fn b [] (each [e {}] (e))) (let [(_ e) (pcall b)] (e:match ":1.*"))
  #   expected: ":1: attempt to call a table value"

Hi Lev,

This is really neat, thanks! I think a couple of other people have
joined since (including myself), could you refresh the list?

Best regards,

Hello all,

I am a Production Engineer / Site Reliability Engineer, blogging at

Currently participating in #100DaysToOffload (
https://100daystooffload.com/)to try and get back in the habit of
writing more; I have some posts in the works on replacing Big Tech
closed platforms with open standards, open protocols, and last but not
least, free software (one of the draft post in particular is a
balancing act as it involves my employer).

I am a Fedora Project contributor, an ex-Lisper trying to get back to
using it, but currently mostly use Python and Ruby for $dayjob. You can
