Description = [[check_max_api_version compares the maximum api required for the appllication to
run against the current api version. This function is used when a part of the Lua API that
the script relies on is removed. If the maximum api version is not met, then an
error message is printed saying the script_name failed to load, then an error is thrown causing the
program to stop executing.
Return_Value = [[result - true if the maximum api version is available, false if not.]],
Limitations = [[When using the default handler on a script being executed from the luarc file, the error thrown
will stop the luarc file from executing any remaining statements. This limitation does not apply to script_manger.]],
Example = [[check_max_api_version("9.0.0") does nothing if the api is less than or equal to 9.0.0 otherwise an
error message is printed and an error is thrown stopping execution of the script.]],
