I certainly have sympathy for this/you -- I'm one of the ones who
approaches Lua as a general-purpose scripting language. That is just
not its focus... I wish it had a broader use, but 'upstream' has done
the expected for its purpose. You as a maintainer/packager are at the
mercy of the users who use/embed it. :-(
If anything, I'd like to see the stock interpreter `lua` be modified
into both a shared library and an executable (similar to busybox).
That way liblua could remain separate and linked statically as has
been historically expected. I think the `lua` embedded example is
under less restriction, since it is just an example? Afaik, to make a
shared library function as both a library and an executable you just
add a main().
(sorry bro)
