[tarantool-patches] [PATCH 1/6] box/console: Add mapping for direct symbols

[Cyrill Gorcunov]

Sole symbols (such as box.NULL) are not processed
by serpent "custom" symbols feature, since they
are not in table.

Thus we should process them separately. Without it
we have

 > require('console').set_default_output("lua,block")
 > ;
 > box.NULL
 > "cdata<void %*>: NULL";

instead of

 > box.NULL
 > box.NULL;

as it should be.
