The module now has the additional functions `list_directory`,
`make_directory`, and `remove_directory`. This makes it easier to write
cross-platform scripts that need to inspect or modify the file system.
Noto Sans CJK TC, that is suggested as a character set that contains Japanese characters, may not be suitable to properly display Japanese characters. Rather, Noto Sans CJK JP is much more recommendable for that purpose.
Although some characters originated from China are quite similar among countries/regions, most of them have evolved into different shapes in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. Therefore, it is best to use a character set that the language of the country/region uses for the readability/recongnizability sake. See also [an webpage that discusses the glyph appearance issue in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese languages](https://heistak.github.io/your-code-displays-japanese-wrong/).
[README of Noto CJK](https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-cjk/blob/main/README.md) may be also good resource to know which font should be used to display characters of each language.

I felt that it could be useful to inform that walk is the only way to get a deep copy of a List. I wrote this where I think that users will likely loop up for this feature, but it may be out of place.
The function allows to fill the mediabag with all images in a given
document. Images that cannot be fetched are replaced with a Span
containing the image description.
New templates variables can be added by giving variable-value pairs as a
second return value of the global function `Doc`.
Example:
function Doc (body, meta, vars)
vars.date = vars.date or os.date '%B %e, %Y'
return body, vars
end

API changes:
- The function T.P.Filter.applyFilters now takes a filter
environment of type `Environment`, instead of a ReaderOptions value.
The `Environment` type is exported from `T.P.Filter` and allows to
combine ReaderOptions and WriterOptions in a single value.
- Global, exported from T.P.Lua, has a new type constructor
`PANDOC_WRITER_OPTIONS`.
Closes: #5221
The function `pandoc.read` is updated to use the same state that was
used while parsing the main input files. This ensures that log messages
are preserved and that images embedded in the input are added to the
mediabag.
